Description: Prospect Kids Academy is a nurturing and safe environment. Your child will feel respected, loved and secure at PKA. This environment we provide will allow social and emotional growth. Our aim is to develop a love of learning and to elicit a desire for discovery.
Our forward thinking curriculum builds from the interests of the child. Prospect Kids Academy will use open-ended materials, that can become magical and full of imagination in the hands of a child. The teachers at PKA will be facilitators, nurturers and partners in your child's learning process. The children’s questions and their answers are explored together. Learning becomes a collaborative process as we seek to balance teacher direction and children’s freedom of choice.
PKA is a director/teacher-owned preschool. Our directors are experienced classroom teachers and mothers of young children. Prospect Kids Academy is N.Y. State Certified. All staff members are CPR, MAT and First Aid Certified.
Prospect Kids Academy has locations in Park Slope and Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
