Kids’ Canvas is a space for kids in Bushwick Brooklyn. It is designed to indulge children’s need to play, foster creativity and to give a green light to fun for kids while allowing parents respite during the day.  The program loosely follows a Reggio Emilia approach, where projects and ideas are student-led and exploratory. Kids’ Canvas is a social environment where children build relationships with other children, as well as with the material world around them.

The space at Kids’ Canvas consists of a main room with ample space for running around, a puppet theater, a dollhouse and our 2 pet parakeets. The second room has a quiet reading corner and our school of tropical fish. A separate art room has an easel and a large communal table for working together or individually. The kitchen houses our small compost bin with live worms. The space is flooded with natural light throughout the day. The outdoor space includes includes a small, private playground as well as a large back yard which will be used for planting and gardening projects when weather permits.

At the end of each class parents receive an emailed update of class activities accompanied by photos taken throughout the class. Healthy snacks are provided.

We are located just two blocks from Maria Hernandez Park.
