Our BPoS Mission
At the Brooklyn Preschool of Science, we aim to excite young kids about learning and to engage their innate curiosity about the world. Our age-appropriate, science-based curriculum taps into a child’s need to understand how things work, while providing a foundation for meaningful math, language, and literacy development. We believe early positive experiences with science and math offer benefits throughout all stages of education and life. From our living wall of plants to our 300-gallon fish tanks to the multitude of living creatures residing in our classrooms, Brooklyn Preschool of Science has been designed to stimulate a child’s sense of wonder. We want kids to ask questions incessantly. Our goal is to respect and nurture our little scientists as they spend their days investigating the workings of the world.
