Practically Preschool - A Gentle Start to School for Pre-Preschoolers

Atlantic Ave Treasure Trunk Studio · Brooklyn Heights

Our Treasure Trunk Practically Preschool program for 1.5-3 yrs old inspires curiosity, exploration, communication, imagination, and positive social and emotional interactions. At Treasure Trunk Theatre we believe in child-led, creative play based learning. Our program will introduce your child to a classroom setting with a gentle separation process for families and their kiddos. This session is for children born between April 1st, 2024 – April 1st, 2025. A mixed-age classroom for our early preschool-aged learners provides an array of benefits for both the younger and older students. The younger students build confidence and gain new and exciting language and behavioral skills. Our older students build a strong sense of responsibility and leadership skills in the classroom community. Each day, we will start the morning with open play in our beautiful space with toys and activities that support imaginative play as well as fine and gross motor skills. Children are also invited to work on an art project during this time. We then gather on the rug for circle time with morning hellos to encourage expression, a story and live music. We then wash hands and provide a simple snack for the children to share. Children then transition back to choice time where they will continue to have self-directed play in our space. A sensory table, play kitchen, library, and age appropriate toys will be available for their discovery. We end our morning with a closing circle time with music and goodbyes. For the first few weeks, grown-ups will join the class as needed until their child feels confident and comfortable being in the classroom without their presence. Our caring teachers offer encouragement and a nurturing environment where the children feel safe and secure within their classroom before the separation. Children at this age are exploding with power to communicate, to move purposefully, to assert their independence and individuality, and to control their important bodily functions. Our nurturing teachers are there to support them in their growth and development and will provide weekly updates for parents. A perfect way to prepare them for 3's programs next year! Come explore and play with our Practically Preschool at the Trunk! Register for the full school year and save!

Piccoli Chef AtelierFrom $2,392

Piccoli Chef Atelier

108 Montague Floor 2 · Brooklyn Heights

At Le Meraviglie, cooking is more than following a recipe—it is a language children learn through their hands, their senses, and their imagination. In our Piccoli Chef Atelier , each Tuesday becomes a gentle ritual. Children gather in a small, consistent group to explore the kitchen as a place of discovery—mixing, shaping, tasting, and creating together. Rooted in Italian culture , our approach celebrates food as a way of connecting—to ingredients, to tradition, and to one another. Children are introduced to delicious seasonal recipes inspired by Italian cooking, where the focus is on quality, care, and the joy of making something from scratch. Along the way, they naturally absorb elements of Italian language, rhythm, and way of life—where meals are shared, time is savored, and the process matters as much as the result. Each 90-minute session is thoughtfully paced to honor this age: time to observe, to try, to make mistakes, and to try again. Through hands-on experience, children build confidence, independence, and a meaningful relationship with food. What matters most is not just what they make, but how they feel while making it—curious, capable, and part of something shared. We always end around the table, tasting together. A quiet moment of pride, conversation, and belonging. Over the course of the year, this small group becomes a little community —growing not only in skills, but in relationships, rhythm, and trust.
