Welcome to Park Slope Schoolhouse!
As a non-profit for 40 years, Park Slope Schoolhouse nurtures a close-knit community and inspires children to become joyful, curious learners for life. PSS 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 through play, and intentionally and thoughtfully present children activities and materials that provoke curiosity and exploration.
Park Slope Schoolhouse places a strong emphasis on fostering social-emotional development. Children are encouraged to reach their full potential, develop their cognitive abilities, acquire reasoning skills that will enable them to solve more complex problems, play alongside others, and communicate.

Kind Words From Our Parents
The teachers are so loving and creative, and our son is constantly engaged in joyful experiences: shadow dancing, visiting the farmer’s market, making sculptures, cooking.
As a parent, having my child at a school that is open so many days of the year and until 6:30 p.m. has relieved an incalculable amount of logistical stress. I never have to get on the subway wondering whether the transit fates are on my side and whether I’ll make it to pickup on time.
We’ve sent two children to PSS. I will be so sad when our journey here ends and will always cherish the memories of our time at this wonderful school.
