The Green Vale School, founded in 1923, is one of the nation’s premier elementary schools and is Long Island’s largest independent elementary school. Families from 35 school districts, as well as New York City, are drawn to the School by the outstanding faculty, excellent facilities and small classes in Prenursery through eighth grade. Green Vale’s mission is to provide a rigorous liberal arts education, in a safe and secure environment, with an emphasis on character development. At Green Vale, habits of heart and mind are cultivated on a daily basis, through many service learning and community service opportunities, from our youngest children to our middle school leaders. Upon graduation, Green Vale students are well prepared to thrive at the nation’s finest and most challenging secondary schools, colleges and universities.

Nestled on the north shore of Long Island, and yet just a short drive from Manhattan, Green Vale’s 40 acre campus is home to a stellar learning environment. Green Vale’s state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional resources include five dedicated (indoor and outdoor) science labs; three art studios with separate band and choral rooms; two libraries and an interactive media center; a fully equipped theater and outdoor amphitheater, seven playing fields and a premier 30,000 sq. ft. athletic complex which includes two gymnasiums and a health & wellness center. All classrooms are wireless and equipped with SMART Boards. Green Vale’s 10,000 sq. ft. dedicated Early Childhood Center, built in 2000, was designed exclusively for 2 to 5 year olds and features heated floors, low windows, an outdoor playground and group spaces for collaborative learning.

The Green Vale school holds our students’ safety in the utmost importance with campus wide surveillance, vehicle I.D. tags, five security guards on premises, automated security gates, and the guard shed at Green Vale’s main entrance.

Green Vale’s richly diverse community enables every family the chance to find a sense of belonging and every child feels at home, comfortably safe while growing and learning. Green Vale is small enough so that every child is known, yet large enough for each child to find a place to lead.

Come and Visit Green Vale.

Walk the hallways, observe a literature discussion group, listen to a concert rehearsal, monitor a Harkness Table discussion, watch our youngest students bound off to technology, science, art and sports - - all of these moments provide a glimpse into the school where every child is known and every child is Inspired to Excel, to Lead and to Care.

ONCE UPON A TIME NURSERY SCHOOL

Once Upon a Time Nursery School is housed in the spacious facilities of Church of Our Saviour Lutheran in Manhasset. Co-owners and educators, Sheila Bluni, Fran DeCarolis, Jennifer Kerrane, Joyce McCann, and Maryann Munoz, established this school in 2009. Together they have over sixty years of teaching and nursery school experience.

Once Upon a Time prides itself on its small class sizes and low child/teacher ratios, which allow young learners the freedom and opportunities to explore, grow, and learn. It is a traditional nursery school focusing on socialization, creativity, and learning through play. There are a wide variety of multi-sensory, multi-disciplinary, technological, and basic activities. Through these activities, children’s unique learning styles and abilities can be accommodated. Opportunities for play and learning are provided both inside the classroom and outside in the large newly renovated playground. The goal of Once Upon a Time Nursery school is to strengthen a child’s imagination, creativity, and intellectual abilities. Our certified teachers play a vital role in this process by providing a rich environment of relevant experiences and facilitating the children so they can learn to live with others, resolve conflicts, and gain a sense of competence.

Gracie Barra Long Island offers outstanding instruction in Brazilian jiu jitsu in Long Island, New York.

Brazilian jiu jitsu is a martial art and sport that evolved from the grappling style of judo. It is frequently used in MMA instruction and training because it focuses on leverage and technique which can enable a smaller, weaker fighter to successfully combat a larger and stronger opponent.
