Buckle My Shoe Learning Center

My son is in the 3's class in the West Village and my daughter is in the 1's class in Tribeca. We absolutely love it, and so do they! From the minute you walk in, you feel at home and like you are entering a magical environment. I was grateful to find the Reggio Emilia inspired philosophy and the child-centered approach to curriculum and instruction at BMS. The children actively play and come home messy every day - and the depth and breadth of what they learn through that process is incredible. The teachers are fantastic and well trained. The head teachers all have a Masters in Education and they participate in staff development with Reggio experts to push themselves even further throughout the year. Teachers are always on hand to address any concerns and to support in the many areas that all parents struggle with - potty training, developmental stages, eating, napping and more. What I love the most is how creative the lessons are - designed to educate, foster socialization and create a lifelong love of learning. The parents, children and teachers come together to create an amazingly loving preschool that fosters incredible learning for the students and feels like a family. It is a home away from home!
