Mary Meyer School is a preschool based in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. We are a NAEYC accredited school that inspires children to encounter the world with joy, curiosity and confidence. Clad in backpacks and excited anticipation, the children at Mary Meyer climb the stairs to the little schoolhouse and enter a magical land of wonder and discovery, budding self sufficiency, first friendships, shrewd negotiations, limitless imagination, delighted giggles, big classroom jobs, small winter slippers, intriguing books, artistic masterpieces, beautiful messes, warm hugs and the beginning of a lifetime of finding joy in learning.
Mary Meyer School is currently accepting applications for our Afternoon Program for the 2021-2022 school year (Fall 2021). Eligible children for our Afternoon Class must be born between September 2, 2016 and June 30, 2018.

Our Curriculum
Mary Meyer is a tangle of mittens and hats, boots and backpacks, set to the swinging beat of Louis Armstrong. Once the children find their slippers and dismiss their parents, the day begins. Learn more about what a day is like by exploring the gallery below. Learn More
