HEALTH AND SAFETY
We follow relevant COVID protocols and have fun outdoors safely.
SCHOOL CLOSURES!
We do NOT have classes when public schools are closed. This includes school holidays, snow days, half days, etc...
NO HANGRY KIDS
Please pack a full water bottle and 2 snacks because they sometimes eat them during lunch.
WHAT TO WEAR:
All kids must wear comfortable shoes which allow them to run, hop, climb, skip and moondance. NO SANDALS. No fancy outfits because they will absolutely destroy them when they jump into that mud or rain puddle. Please dress for easy and comfortable outdoor movement and expect them to get very dirty. We will sometimes be running or walking long distances as we learn about the last forest in Brooklyn, while incorporating social-emotional learning.
TRUST
We find fun and gentle ways to communicate to kids while giving them time and space to express their needs and feelings.
WHO WE ARE:
We pay our staff a THRIVING wage (25% higher than a living wage), include generous scholarships and hire from the communities we work in. We strive to be economically, racially and LGBTQI diverse. When you sign your child up for our Brooklyn Seeds nature program, you are supporting a community. Please consider giving to our GoFundMe campaign, where you can learn more about what we do and why we do it.
NOTE ABOUT UNITED:
If your child attends United (PS 305/Arts & Letters United), we do offer pickups from the bus stop on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at Sterling and Underhill, as well as the after-school garden program onsite Thursdays.
