Maple Street School is a play-based cooperative preschool founded in 1978 in Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn.

Maple Street’s mission is to provide meaningful joyful learning and play to children ages 2-6. Our curriculum focuses on a community and child emergent curriculum inspired by the Bank Street Developmental Interaction Model and Reggio Emilia philosophies. Though we embrace many philosophies and heroes our main focus is that… EVERYONE GETS TO PLAY!

Maple Street strives to be an inclusive school and pays attention and learns about race, gender, identity, class, access, ability and special needs, allergies and medical conditions and more. We are always learning, expanding, and growing.
