For children who are 2-5 years old at the start of the school year.

All families enrolled in the Full Day Multiage Program are offered the option to enroll in Afternoons as well, extending the school day until 4:30 pm.

Extending the day provides ample time for small group investigation and nature-based learning. Nature-based education promotes the positive development of the whole child. Our grounding value is to instill in children wonderment in and love of nature. Playing in the outdoors, planting seeds in a garden box, standing in a spring rain shower, and caring for living things are all a part of nature-based education. At Brooklyn Schoolhouse these experiences are an integral part of every child’s school day. In the afternoons, children have the opportunity to delve further into these experiences. We explore natural materials outdoors in all weather while connecting with the natural world as we grow into our roles as environmental stewards.

Our afternoons begin with projects like growing different kinds of plants and seeds, making natural plant-based dyes, and caring for school pets. These projects grow as the children share their interests and start to ask questions. Our nature exploration extends into science experiments, cooking with the produce we grow, learning about important naturalists, and reflecting our experiences in nature through artistic media. In our work we cover topics ranging from composting and recycling to basic botany to geology, all with the goal of inspiring a love of and connection to the natural world.
