Both of my girls attended BPS, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. The caring teachers, the thoughtful curriculum, and the community create something truly magical. The Reggio Emilia arts- and play-based approach didn’t just nurture their creativity—it instilled a lifelong love of art, learning, and curiosity. I’m forever grateful for the foundation Brown Play School gave them.
nicoleadrianceOct 22, 2025We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brown Play School! This is our third year as a BPS family, with two children having attended, and it has been an incredible experience from day one. What sets this preschool apart is how truly special it feelsl. The small teacher-to-child ratio means our children receive individual attention and care that has helped them flourish. The teachers genuinely know and love each child, and you can feel that connection every single day. The Reggio Emilia-inspired approach creates such a rich learning environment. Beyond the excellent foundation in early childhood education, our children have benefited from wonderful enrichment activities woven right into the curriculum, such as yoga, woodworking, and music class, that spark creativity and confidence. The sense of community here is outstanding. We’ve built lasting friendships with other families, and there’s a real partnership between parents and teachers. Our children have grown so much academically, socially, and emotionally during their time here. If you’re looking for a preschool that will treat your child as an individual, foster their natural curiosity, and provide a truly loving environment, Brown Play School is it. We feel so fortunate to be part of this community!
Elise McDonaldOct 6, 2025We had a wonderful experience at Brown Play School. My soon-to-be 5-year-old just finished up her second year at BPS and wishes we could send her back for a third! The BPS curriculum, which is rooted in Reggio-Emilia, has empowered her to find and express her creativity. The teachers put a tremendous amount of thought into every project... we especially love the art studio and now have a collection of special creations that we will be saving forever. BPS fostered our daughter’s natural curiosity, emphasized her ability to learn through play, and helped her to better collaborate with other children. Her experience at Brown Play School has made us confident that she is exceptionally well-prepared for kindergarten. We can’t wait to send her little brother there next year!
Justin MaistrowAug 18, 2025My 4-year-old daughter started attending Brown Play School last year, and I’m truly in awe of how much she has grown—socially, emotionally, and intellectually—during her time here. The Reggio Emilia–inspired approach has nurtured her natural curiosity and empowered her to express herself with confidence and creativity. What means the world to us is knowing that she is surrounded by teachers who not only care deeply but consistently go above and beyond to make each child feel safe, seen, and truly valued. Their warmth, attentiveness, and respect for every child’s individuality shine through in everything they do—from the thoughtfully designed learning centers to the daily moments of connection. We are endlessly grateful for the kindness, patience, and support the Brown Play School team brings into our daughter’s life. It’s clear that this is not just a school—it’s a community that celebrates children and believes in their potential. We feel so lucky to be a part of it!
Lauren FestaMay 28, 2025Brown Play School is truly such a special place. The love and attention the teachers give to each student is like nothing I’ve seen before, and the Reggio Emilia structure has allowed our child to not only prepare for elementary school, but find new interests in art, music, yoga, and woodworking. I couldn’t recommend the school more and we feel so fortunate to be a part of the Brown Play School community.
Haley BurnsMar 22, 2024I can't say enough fabulous things about Brown Play School! Our 5 year old is in her second year at Brown Play School and we'll be sending our almost 3 year old in the fall of 2024! The teachers are kind, nurturing and caring. The programming is creative and makes learning fun. The school is well organized, clean and geared towards the students! The community as a whole is supportive, welcoming and friendly. The absolute BEST in my opinion!
