About

Welcome to Seedlings, an intimate preschool located in Brooklyn Heights.

 

Our children thrive from increased attention with a child to teacher ratio of 4:1. Seedlings' small class sizes create an ideal atmosphere for developing social skills as well as meeting our young one's emotional needs.

 

We are conveniently located in Brooklyn Heights in a beautiful brownstone with a private backyard. At Seedlings, you’ll see learning happen every day through imaginary play, art, gardening, singing, dancing, science and more. Welcome to a place where the gift of imagination can flourish.

 

Welcome to Seedlings.

Seedlings Preschool emphasizes learning through play, with a strong focus on the social and emotional growth of a child. We offer weekly science/sensory learning classes with our full-time science teacher. Music is offered weekly from our Berkeley School of Music trained music teacher, and children participate in an art activity every day. The children will also garden, have neighborhood walks, and participate in cooking classes. Click here to view a typical day.
 
We offer a flexible schedule with classes offered 3, 4
