OUR FAMILIES
At Park Slope Schoolhouse, we are committed to fostering an environment where children feel a sense of belonging and are valued. We embrace race-conscious and anti-bias educational practices, encouraging an open conversation about diversity and inclusivity for young children. We celebrate racial, cultural, and individual differences, support dual-language learners, and include children with disabilities in all aspects of the program.
Respectful and collaborative relationships among parents, teachers, and children enable us to thrive. We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where each child has a sense of belonging when they walk through the door. At PSS, we are committed to encouraging each child to develop to their fullest potential. We actively support children’s family identities and engage children in positive, informative conversations about human diversity so that children develop into who they are: valued and important members of our school and greater community. We help children notice and address unfairness, and even very young children can stand up for themselves.
Part of the PSS community is our parent committee, which meets monthly to plan and coordinate periodic parent meet-ups, fundraisers, and other school events. Families are always welcome to visit their child’s classroom to share a family tradition, celebrate their child, or read their favorite book with the class.
One of the most valuable aspects of PSS is the strong and supportive network we offer to our families. Our child development specialist and our occupational therapist work closely with the children, the teachers, and the parents to create individualized support for each child. They also provide teacher and parent workshops and one-on-one parenting sessions. Furthermore, we offer quarterly parent-teacher conferences and support your child’s transition to pre-k, whether you are looking at public or private schools. Lastly, parents can access our school app, Lillio, for direct daily communication with their child’s teachers.
