who we are

PKA is a preschool rooted in curiosity, connection, and exploration.

SINCE 2003

A Brooklyn preschool built around children’s interests.

PKA began with a simple idea: childhood should feel like discovery. Preschool should be a place where children have time to explore, imagine, ask questions, build friendships, and grow in their own way.

At PKA, children’s interests help guide their experience. Our teachers get to know each child well, paying attention to their questions, ideas, conversations, and the things that capture their curiosity. Those interests help shape meaningful opportunities for children to explore and learn.

More than two decades later, PKA is still intentionally small, warm, and deeply connected to the families we serve. Across our Park Slope and Prospect Heights locations, we’re proud to have been part of so many Brooklyn childhoods—and excited to welcome the next ones.

THE PKA DIFFERENCE

Small by design. Personal by nature.

PKA is intentionally small. That means teachers have the time to really know each child—their personality, interests, friendships, strengths, and the little things that make them who they are.

At PKA, little voices can lead to big ideas. Because we are intentionally small, teachers have the time to really know each child—their personality, interests, friendships, strengths, and the little things that make them who they are.

Strong relationships are at the center of everything we do. Our teachers bring experience, warmth, patience, and consistency to the classroom, creating an environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, trying something new, and growing at their own pace.

Families become part of that community too. We value open communication, familiar faces, and the kind of connection that comes from being part of a school where people genuinely know one another.
