Kindness First
Every interaction β between children, teachers, and families β begins with empathy and respect.
Who we are
What started as two teachers and eight children in a converted parlor has grown into one of Brooklyn's most loved preschools. What hasn't changed is our philosophy: children learn best through play, through relationships, and through wonder.
Our program is built on the Montessori and Reggio Emilia traditions, adapted for modern families. We keep classes small, teachers certified, and the garden full of tomatoes.
Our values
Every interaction β between children, teachers, and families β begins with empathy and respect.
We follow the questions children ask, turning them into weeks of exploration and discovery.
Daily outdoor time in our organic garden teaches stewardship, patience, and the joy of growing things.
Our approach
We'd love to welcome you for a visit. Tours take 45 minutes and include a classroom observation, a walk through the garden, and plenty of time for your questions.
