Kinder Prep Montessori’s brand-new private, all-inclusive Pre-K program in Brooklyn Heights for children ages 4–5 opens this September 2026, offering a rich educational experience designed around curiosity, independence, and meaningful preparation for the transition to kindergarten.
Located right within Brooklyn Bridge Park, the new classroom blends elements of Montessori with Creative Curriculum, combining purposeful academics with real opportunities to explore, discover, create, and grow.
An All-Inclusive Approach
Kinder Prep brings much more than academics into the school day. Enrichment, three freshly prepared meals, degreed and certified educators, and daily outdoor experiences are all part of the Pre-K experience and included in tuition.
Specialist-Led Enrichment
Enrichment isn’t an occasional add-on at Kinder Prep. It’s part of the school week and included in tuition at no additional cost.
Children participate in:
- Chess & Abacus Math
- Science Lab
- Soccer
- Cooking
- Spanish language
- French language enrichment, coming Fall 2026
- Dance
- Music & Sign Language
- Puppetsburg
- Music with Timbalooloo
These classes give children opportunities to experiment, create, move, perform, problem-solve, and discover new interests without families having to build a separate schedule of after-school activities.
Three Nutritious Meals Daily
Everything children do at Kinder Prep, from focusing in class to exploring outdoors, requires proper nourishment. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are prepared fresh and included in tuition daily. Our menu rotates regularly to ensure variety, balance, and a wide range of flavors and nutrients across the week. Even the most particular eaters will find something they love. Shared mealtimes also give children opportunities to practice independence, table routines, conversation, and community while enjoying meals together with their classmates.
Degreed, Certified & Caring Educators
At the heart of Kinder Prep’s Pre-K program are degreed and certified educators who bring experience, professionalism, warmth, and genuine joy to the classroom each day.
Teachers take the time to know each child as an individual, supporting their academic development alongside their independence, confidence, and social-emotional growth. The result is a classroom where children feel known, supported, and excited to learn.
Brooklyn Bridge Park Is Their Backyard
Kinder Prep’s Bridge Park school is located at 113 Bridge Park Drive, right within Brooklyn Bridge Park, giving children daily access to one of New York City’s most remarkable waterfront settings.
Outdoor time isn’t simply a break from learning. Children have opportunities to move, explore nature, observe the world around them, and extend classroom discoveries into real-life experiences, all with Brooklyn Bridge Park as their backyard.
Building Real Kindergarten Readiness Through Hands-On Learning
At Kinder Prep, kindergarten readiness isn’t centered around worksheets and seat time. Children learn through purposeful materials, practical activities, experimentation, conversation, and discovery.
A math lesson might involve measuring and pouring rather than tracing numbers. Early literacy comes alive through movable letters, storytelling, sound exploration, and tactile materials. Science concepts are explored through real experiments and observation.
And kindergarten readiness isn’t just about what children know. It’s also about what they can do independently.
Designed specifically for children ages 4–5, the program helps children strengthen:
- Early literacy and language development
- Mathematical thinking and problem-solving
- Independence and self-confidence
- Social-emotional development
- Collaboration and communication
- Executive functioning and classroom readiness
Through hands-on learning, small-group activities, and individualized support, children build the academic foundations, independence, and confidence they need to enter kindergarten ready for what’s next.
Limited Pre-K Spots Remain for Fall 2026
Even before opening its doors, the new Pre-K classroom is already more than halfway enrolled for September 2026, with only a limited number of spaces remaining.
If your child’s UPK or 4s placement wasn’t the right fit, or you’re still searching for the right Pre-K experience for Fall, now is the time to visit.
