New infant toddler program at Brooklyn Preschool of Science starting in September 2024!
Brooklyn Preschool of Science has created a new program for children ages 12 to 24 months that will start at their Amity Street location in Cobble Hill in September. Their hands-on, inquiry-based science curriculum for infants and toddlers offers numerous benefits supporting their development and learning. We want to spark interest in STEM fields at an early age because engaging in hands-on science at an early age can lay the groundwork for continued interest and success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) subjects as children grow. Parents can choose a flexible schedule matching their childcare needs from 3 to 5 days per week. Hours of the infant program are 9 am to 12 pm, 9 am to 3 pm or 8 am to 6 pm. Take a tour to find out more about the new program and join us as we explore the wonders of STEAM-based learning.
