Welcome to Park Slope Schoolhouse!

Park Slope Schoolhouse is one of the only non-profit early childcare centers in Park Slope, Brooklyn serving 37 children between the ages of one and four. Park Slope Schoolhouse offers a full-day (7:30am – 6:30pm) and full-year (Sep. – Aug.) program, a state-of-the art facility, extensive family support, a high teacher ratio and weekly enrichment classes.

Our Philosophy

At Park Slope Schoolhouse, we strive to build a trusting relationship and cultivate each child’s intellectual, physical and social growth through play-based and hands-on explorations. A play-based early childhood education instills a lifelong curiosity for learning, and it is a developmentally appropriate approach that fosters independence, creativity and critical thinking skills. Our skilled teachers facilitate learning processes during play and turn the children’s interests and experiences into learning moments.

Park Slope Schoolhouse also places a strong emphasis on fostering social-emotional development. Our children learn to get along with, care for and respect each other by sharing, taking turns, practicing patience and resolving conflicts by using their words. Our teachers nurture these skills by helping children to negotiate, cooperate, problem solve and communicate effectively.

Kind Words From Our Parents

For the past three years, we've watched as our older child has learned to look at the world with wonder and curiosity because of his experience at Park Slope Schoolhouse. We're so happy with the teachers, staff and community that even after leaving Park Slope, we've continued to send him and his younger brother to the school. Throughout every transition - new baby, moving, COVID protocols - the school has been a constant and affirming presence in their lives. We know each day that they're learning how to be part of a community and it's a thrill to hear about the innovative ways the teachers find to help them grow.

We have absolutely loved our first year at Park Slope Schoolhouse, and as part of the PSS Community. It is so wonderful to see how happy our child is when we walk into the classroom every morning, knowing there’s a fun day ahead with great teachers and friends. The well structured days have been perfect for our on-the-go toddler: organized activities (soccer, music, cooking, crafts), free play, books, time outside, the sensory gym, and a quality nap. We also appreciate the incredible communication from the school: day-to-day updates in the app they use, quarterly parent/teacher meetings, and regular updates from the School Director. We are so grateful to have found this special place and look forward to more fun years ahead.
