Why Passport

More than a preschool. It's their passport to life.

We are not daycare. We are a boutique academy where every day is an expedition of discovery, guided with the intimacy of private, world-class care.

The Taiyib Method

A proprietary, experience-based approach where children learn by living the world — not by sitting at a desk.

Only Six Explorers

A rare, intimate cohort of six children means every child is truly seen, known, and nurtured every single day.

Real-World Adventures

Swimming, cooking, gardening, museum mornings, and community outings woven into every week of learning.

Founder-Led Care

Ms. Inas personally guides your child's journey, bringing 25 years and a UHNW private-service pedigree.

From our families

"I finally found the place I'd been praying for."

I finally found the place I'd been praying for. My daughter runs to the door every morning — and comes home talking about the fish she saw, the bread she baked, the seeds she planted.

Amara J.

Mother of a 3-year-old explorer

As an ER physician, I need to trust the people caring for my son completely. Ms. Inas gives me the peace of a private nanny with the richness of the best school in the city.

Dr. Priya N.

Parent & emergency physician

Six children. That's it. My son isn't a number here — he's known. The difference in his confidence and curiosity in just one season has been extraordinary.
