Our Program

Brooklyn Beans offers affordable high quality after school programming in PS 39 during the school year. Families have the option to sign up for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days a week from dismissal to 6 pm throughout the school year. Families can also sign up for a 10-Day Flex Pack which allows for any ten days of after school care throughout the school year. Our philosophy is to provide meaningful and engaging activities for our students each and every day, striving to create an environment where students can come after school and feel at home.

Emerging Curriculum

Our program adapts to the children’s varying interests. We believe in listening to children’s ideas and cultivating many of our programmatic options from suggestions we hear directly from children and their families.

Outdoor and Indoor Activity

Keeping children healthy and active is an integral part of our afternoon. We have daily use of the PS 39 playground and yard where kids alternate between group games and free play. We also take advantage of the spacious Camp Friendship Gym which allows for numerous gym games and free play.

Enrichments

Brooklyn Beans offers a variety of included and add-on activities designed to meet the interests of PS39 students. Find more information about the enrichments we offer under the “Enrichments” tab.

Our Staff

Our staff members are thoroughly trained and have years of experience in child-care settings. They are passionate about empowering students by creating an environment that nurtures their interests and encourages them to explore new things.

Progressive Programming

Our program is designed to evolve and meet the needs of children as they grow up. Activities and projects are intentionally and thoughtfully crafted for each age group.

School Support

We help our students allot time to take care of their school work responsibilities by providing a designated quiet area with a teacher available to help and facilitate.

Flex Days (10-Pack)

The Flex Pack was created to provide flexible programming for families. The 10-Day Flex Pack allows families to select any ten days within the school year to participate in Brooklyn Beans After School. On these selected days, children will participate in a balance of physical activity, engaging crafts and outdoor play.

  • At Brooklyn Beans, it is our goal to provide flexible programming for parents. For this reason, we are introducing the 10-Day Flex Pack. The 10-Day Flex Pack allows parents to select any 10 days within the school year to drop their child off at after-school. All we require from you is a minimum of 48 hour notice, and we will take care of the rest!
