Erudite Preschool Park Slope

"We absolutely love the Erudite preschool and we feel very lucky that our son attends it. Teachers are incredible, very caring. Home cooked meals and snacks. Language immersion program is great! It is like part of the family."

"Hands down the best (and possibly only) Russian-immersion daycare in the neighborhood. The play based curriculum is filled with arts & crafts, music, theater, science, and reading. During the major holidays kids participate in amazing performances complete with beautiful costumes provided by the daycare. Food is included and according to my oldest - Yulia's oatmeal tops the breakfast charts. Kids play a lot outdoors and occasionally take field trips. Administration/teachers are excellent: warm, flexible, and engaging. Communication is done through WhatsUp group, enabling the parents to create a tight-knit community."

"We had an amazing experience with this school over the summer and we are trying to find a way to be there throughout the year and to have my second daughter attend it as well. We are even considering selling our place in the other part of Brooklyn and moving just so that we can be closer to Erudite! I was impressed with how well Alla could understand my daughter just from a couple of days at her school: what her difficulties are and the areas on which we need to work in her social and emotional development. My daughter has some special needs which makes it difficult sometimes to fit in with same-aged peers. Alla took the time and care to help my daughter play and socialize with the other kids and her language and social skills improved dramatically after just a couple of weeks at Erudite. Her almost-forgotten Russian came back and now I can finally converse with my daughter in Russian to my great delight!"

"I am thrilled that I was able to find a Russian immersion daycare in Park Slope! After much research and consideration Erudite Preschool was the best choice among the other daycares in the district. I have very high expectations about how children should be cared for, I expect provided organic meals, stimulating environment, kind and involved teachers, clean and bright facilities with big windows and outdoor play space. All that together is very hard to come by. At Erudite, the teachers speak to children on very clear good Russian language, and provide full immersion through reading, educational activities, learning poems and staging holiday shows. I was very anxious about leaving my son at daycare at first and he was not ready to separate, Alla and Nastya provided opportunity for long and smooth transition, we both together spent several hours at the daycare each week, until my son was ready. Now he runs out of the door once I mention going to daycare!"

"As a mom who believes in early education and stride for the best for my child, I can not be happier with Erudite Preschool! What a lovely, bright, home like place with amazing and talented educator Alla who runs the daycare! She is so enthusiastic and truly enjoys what she does and I can see it in everything: from home cooked organic healthy meals to a holiday special festivities with every kid involved. On a daily basis Alla and her amazing staff take a challenge to teach our kids simple yet authentic things at early age such as baking, painting, music, art play, math, reading (it’s a Russian language daycare) and many many more. Her approach to each child is very individual and custom. The daycare also has a private outdoor patio where kids play, explore and learn. Erudite has truly exceeded all of my highest expectations! So lucky we found them."
