Rediscover childhood the way it was meant to be—rooted in simplicity, guided by nature, and free from overstimulation.
This summer 2025— June 23 to August 23 (Monday through Friday)
Summer’s Guild at Primary (2025)
From making mud pies and tending lemonade stands to baking, cooking, and exploring the natural world, each moment is an opportunity to connect more deeply—with themselves, with others, and with the joy of discovery.
This is a season for slowing down, for meaningful play, and for planting the seeds of lifelong friendships. Primary is a home where community grows, and relationships are built to last—for both you and your child.
Join us this summer in Tribeca, New York.
