Red Hook Playgroup is a progressive preschool founded by Red Hook parents, and the school has become an active part of our community. They are members of the community gardens and take their kids to Mother Cabrini Playground and field trips in the neighborhood. Priority is given to Columbia Waterfront and Red Hook residents, and they are now scheduling tours for families interested in applying for the 2014-2015 school year. Tours will take place from October to early December. See teachers and their classrooms in action, learn about RHP's educational philosophy and approach, and discuss any questions you have about the program and policies with RHP's Directors.
Visit www.redhookplaygroup.org to find more information and an application form. Once your form is submitted, you will receive an email within a few days confirming your tour date.
Red Hook Playgroup is located at 295 Columbia Street between Woodhull and Summit.
We received this message this week about a new daycare opening in the neighborhood:
"My name is Kristina and I am writing to let you know about the new daycare we are opening off of Columbia Street. Sitters Studio is an artistic childcare agency that staffs artists as childcare providers. We have been in NYC for 6 years and this past year we opened our first artistic daycare in Brooklyn (off of Smith St.). We received such a positive response that we jumped at the chance to nab a new space on President between Hicks and Columbia.
Our Studio Daycare program used art as the starting point for all developmental learning. Our belief is that, whether it is learning colors with Mondrian, practicing gross motor skills with “The Nutcracker” or understanding math concepts of high/low and more/less with Prokofiev, great art can foster great learning.
The Studio Daycare program is set up to accept children as young as 1.5 years up to 5 years with a preschool program that prepares children for kindergarten. We offer part-time care options of: Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday. Each day, drop off begins at 8AM until 9AM and pick up begins at 4:30PM until 6PM. Included with that are 2 meals and 2 snacks per day all of which are made from organic/natural food products."
