Brooklyn Schoolhouse is founded on the conviction that children have an innate desire to explore, play and learn, and are naturally competent and capable learners. We believe children learn best in a diverse community where their ideas and questions are respected, and where children are guided through the process of building meaningful understandings.
The Reggio Emilia Approach is integral to our philosophy and practice. Our connection with the Art of Teaching graduate program at Sarah Lawrence College strengthens and informs our teaching and our pedagogy.
