Frequently asked questions

The children’s studio is designed for children eighteen months through seven years. Adults have their own track — the Creative Witness playshops — and the studio also designs custom programs for all age groups on request.

The studio’s enrichment follows a Holistic Process approach inspired by the Reggio Emilia method and philosophy: education is relationship-based, and creativity is documented so children, parents and teachers can revisit each stage of development.

Every session moves through the same rhythm: free-play arrival, a weekly theme curriculum block, special presentations from visiting artists, and documentation in each child’s creative portfolio.

Every family volunteers for one session over the three-month cycle: parents co-teach classes, partner in Free-Play with other families, and assist with documentation.

All families apply to the studio. A reservation fee or the full month’s tuition holds a place, and your acceptance letter designates the payment terms for your program; a membership packet, class schedule and family orientation date follow acceptance. See enrollment & tuition.

Yes — a limited number of monthly scholarships support low-income individuals and families who wish to join the programs. Call the studio at 718-623-2775 to inquire.

Sessions are held in the first floor banquet room of the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture, 53 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, New York 11215 — spacious, naturally lit and kept open and sparse.

The studio welcomes fiscal donations and merchandise purchases; support keeps scholarships and community programs alive.
