High quality early childhood education in Bed-Stuy, Brownsville & Crown Heights for over 130 years. For more than 130 years, Brooklyn Kindergarten Society has worked to ensure children from low-income families receive quality education in a nurturing environment that cultivates the skills they need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Our early childhood learning centers are located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, and Brownsville public housing, and serve nearly 400 children and their families. BKS children receive full-day educational classes with evidence-based, age-appropriate curricula and enrichment programs. BKS strives to stop the cycle of poverty where it does the most damage—in early childhood. Although two of every three children who enter BKS test “at-risk” for developmental delays, 90% complete BKS on par with or better than their peers across socio-economic groups!
