Park Slope Child Care Collective

When Children
Play, They Learn

The Park Slope Child Care Collective is a full-day preschool and neighborhood institution where love and care is at the heart of everything we do.

Since 1971, local families, friends, and teachers have been coming together to learn, play, and grow our nurturing community.


We take pride in being as flexible, diverse, and affordable as possible. That means being open 8am - 5:45pm eleven months out of the year, allowing both maximum flexibility and consistency - as well as thoughtful structure and free play - so that our children thrive alongside our incredibly committed staff and working-parent community.

2s Program

An unrivaled 1:3 adult-child ratio underlies the Little Stars classroom’s warmth and creativity.

3s & 4s Program

Imagination and friendship thrive in our Bears and Rainbows classrooms.

How does a
preschool collective work?

With diverse talent, a desire to pitch in, and close-knit community.

EMBRACE ALL

We believe that all forms of diversity enrich our community, especially our children in their early critical years. We strive to create an inclusive culture that reflects and celebrates the diversity of Brooklyn.
