Questions
Why are there minimum days allowed by age?
We are using the previous enrollment days for each age group as our base schedule and keeping age appropriate maximums to ensure student success.
What will this look like in the classroom?
The same great indoor and outdoor spaces, play based programming and award winning teachers. The daily flow of the classroom will be the same, check it out here.
How do I pick the schedule?

Can I change the schedule I initially selected?
Yes! There will be an opportunity to make changes prior to the beginning of school if necessary, provided there is space available.
What if I want to add additional days to my child’s monthly schedule?

As a requirement every Brooklyn family will participate in the classroom weekly. The more days your child attends, the more family teaching shifts you will have.
