Since 1969, the Downing Street Playgroup Cooperative has been providing a safe, low-cost, nurturing environment for children in the Village, Chelsea, SoHo, Tribeca and other neighborhoods around New York City.  The Cooperative was founded by local parents and continues to rely on parents for all its administrative and maintenance needs.  This keeps the cost of running the Cooperative low and provides parents an opportunity to remain involved in their children’s educational development.  In turn, the school preserves the diversity of the Village by giving young families a quality educational environment.

Each year, the Downing Street Playgroup Cooperative holds an Annual Spring Fair & Raffle in May (this year it will be May 12th, 2018).  The proceeds from this event will provide needed funds for our scholarship program as well as artistic and cultural activities for our children, including music and dance instruction. Your raffle ticket(s) purchase means a great deal to the children and families we serve.

Thank you for your support of our children at Downing Street Playgroup!

^^Please make sure to include a DSP family referral name and package(s) letters you choose. 
**All winners will be notified by email**
