Our Strategic Vision
 

Preschool Admissions 2s, 3s, & 4s

Curious, Competent Learners

Play is the essential work of childhood and an important part of developing cognitive, emotional, and problem-solving skills. Our commitment to nurturing the gifts of each child as an individual provides a warm and stimulating environment where children feel free to explore the world around them. The Brooklyn Friends School Preschool program follows a child-centered curriculum that supports individual learning styles and developmental readiness. Our two-year olds begin to discover the world outside home and family and learn about themselves in the context of a community of peers. Our three and four year-olds meet increasingly complex challenges and practice social skills through hands-on, concrete experiences, and become curious, motivated, and competent learners.

To begin the admissions process for Preschool, you may create a Ravenna account and submit an online application.

To be considered for admission for the 2024-2025 school year, children must be two (Preschool 2s), three (Preschool 3s), or four (Preschool 4s) years old by September 1, 2024.

Applications submitted after November 17 will be held in the event that additional interview spots become available.
