About Us

  • The Alcott School was founded by two professional educators, Arlene Donegan and Katherine Rohrs, in September of 1968. For more than 40 years, Alcott School has served children ages 2-6 years old. From modest beginnings at the Bryn Mawr Park Presbyterian Church in Yonkers, to the current locations in Dobbs Ferry and Scarsdale, on Crane Road and its newest location at Temple Shaarei Tikvah on Fox Meadow Road, the Alcott School has given thousands of the community’s children a quality start. Truly a pioneer in the field – as it was not yet fashionable to put one’s child in a preschool program in the 1960’s – the Alcott School understood and acted on the importance of such issues as “school readiness” and developmental appropriateness in education.
