At Park Slope Schoolhouse, we create a play-based curriculum that is built upon the children’s developmental needs and their interests. Learning through play and hands-on explorations provides a learning experience that allows children to learn, practice and master their individual language, cognitive, social-emotional, gross- and fine motor skills. 

In order for every child to achieve their full potential, our teachers use open-ended materials, such as “loose parts”, and individualized learning strategies. Children are being encouraged to be curious, explore, hypothesize, make connections and draw conclusions. All learning disciplines, such as language arts, math, science, art, music and movement, are incorporated throughout the day while inviting the children to use and explore all of their senses.

Physical activity and outdoor time are integral, with children participating in movement sessions, neighborhood walks, trips to the park or the playground, as well as participating during our enrichment classes Bilingual Birdies, a Spanish music program, yoga and soccer.
