Play is the beginning of knowledge.” – George Dorsey

Brooklyn Sandbox Early Learning Center is a progressive preschool that provides developmentally appropriate, child-centered, play-based learning experiences for families of children ages 2 to 4. Core to our emergent curriculum is the understanding that children build lasting cognitive neural connections through imaginative play. Play provides extended opportunities for verbal interaction, collaboration, and problem-solving which are essential for learning across the five domains of child development. Our work then becomes ensuring strong parent-teacher relationships, social engagement in a safe and nurturing environment where children can be their best selves.
