About the Parents League of New York

Parents League empowers families by providing advisory services and parenting resources through partnerships with schools and educational providers.

PLNY is a collaborative community of expert educators, schools, health and wellness specialists, community based organizations, and volunteers in New York and beyond.  Together, we empower families as they navigate their children's growth milestones, personal development and educational journey.

We provide:

  • Advice to families selecting schools and programs: preschools, elementary and secondary schools, boarding schools, special needs programs and summer and enrichment experiences.
     
  • Parenting and education lectures and workshops by experts in their fields, and panel presentations by admissions and financial aid directors.
     
  • Publications including the Review, Guide to New York City Preschools and Let's Play: Activities for Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers.
