Professional. Kind. Awesome.

We are lucky to live in a community that supports family well being. PKA is diverse, educated and is interested in shaping the best experiences for our children. We love PKA! My daughter has been attending PKA since she was 2 years old in their full-day program. She started in the Littles class among a wonderful little community. I love that in the morning, the Littles (2’s) and Bigs (3’s 4’s) are separated for their individual learning but then together in the afternoon. I love that PKA has a curriculum and that they “travel the world” with handmade passports. I love that they make a lot of art. My favorites so far have been the 10 foot Pollock-esq splatter painting, the planets mobile and the rocket-ship hat. Free play is important too and PKA has been able to provide a good balance between free play and structured learning. I love that they take afternoon walks around the neighborhood and talk about what they see. I love that they have tiny toilets and sinks that are just their size. I love that the classroom walls are blank at the beginning of the year and filled with the kids’ artwork and energy by the end of the year. I love that they talk about fire safety and how to safely cross the street. I love that the teachers can improvise and provide new plans as necessary. I love that the kids go on field trips and experience the outside world with their classmates. I love that the kids spend time at the Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum. I love the pot-luck gatherings where the families and staff from both locations get to hang out and get to know each other.

What I love the most are the staff and teachers who form amazing and unique bonds with each of the children. I love how present the teachers are and how seriously they take the care of our kids. They always answer any question or concern with a kind heart and helpful nature. PKA is a wonderful place for your toddler to just be. Where they can be who they are and celebrated for it.

We enrolled our daughter in PKA for 3 years, and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about the teachers, activities, and the overall positive vibe of the program. Our daughter thrived with the child-led lessons based on inquiries and observations. The program’s focus on intertwining lessons with real-life experiences and engaging activities in science, language arts, math, and cooking was impressive. A significant benefit was their daily outdoor exploration of playgrounds, the garden, and the neighborhood (weather permitting).

Entering kindergarten with an open mind, our child shared her knowledge and emerged as one of the top performers, thanks to her enriching experiences at PKA. The directors are personally invested in every child, and all the teachers, including our daughter’s, provided wonderful nurturing care.

This hidden gem of a school is truly worth exploring. The dedicated attention to every child’s social/emotional needs, combined with care and love, makes joining PKA a compelling choice. I highly recommend Prospect Kids Academy in Park Slope for your child.

Thank you, PKA, for providing a safe, fun, and stimulating experience. Keep up the great work!

I could not feel more fortunate to have had found the most incredible preschool for my 3 daughters. From 2008 through 2015, PKA was a huge part of my family’s life. My oldest daughter started school at PKA when she was 2 and from the moment I walked through the door (on my tour), I just knew I had found someplace that was truly magical. Her two sisters followed in her path, and were all lucky enough to spend their preschool years at PKA, surrounded by the most loving, warm, insightful, creative and caring teachers. People often commented on how different my 3 girls are in personality, and I truly attributed this to an amazing preschool where children are always encouraged to be themselves, make their own choices about everything and are free to grow and thrive as individuals. Through play, they learned all of the academic essentials that they needed to know when it was time to move on. Most importantly, at PKA my girls learned the gift of kindness, friendship, and to always feel confident and proud of who they are…and I have seen for myself that this gift has stayed with them. I am forever grateful.
