Brooklyn Preschool of Science

What Brooklyn Preschool of Science does

Brooklyn Preschool of Science is a privately held, for-profit early childhood education provider founded in 2005 by Carmelo Piazza, operating three campuses in Brooklyn, New York (Cobble Hill at 11 Wyckoff St, Park Slope at 65 Park Place, and Brooklyn Heights at 78 Amity Street). It serves children ages 8 months to 5 years through age-segmented programs (Infant/Toddler, Twos, Threes and Fours, Summer Camp) built on an inquiry-based, science-integrated curriculum that combines literacy, mathematics, art, and social-emotional development. Its core technology stack consists of physical classroom infrastructure rather than software: live animal habitats (blue tongue skinks, crested geckos, bearded dragons, gerbils, hamsters, giant millipedes, stick bugs, Madagascar roaches), a giant living wall, a 300-gallon fish tank, age-appropriate robotics (KIBO, Sphero Indi, Botzees), and 3D printing activities, with Brightwheel used as the parent communication platform.

The business runs a tuition-based subscription revenue model with pricing not publicly disclosed, supplemented by seasonal summer camp revenue and a Science Party Animals sub-brand that monetizes the curriculum through science-themed birthday parties. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through website inquiries, virtual tours, organic search, social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), and verified parent testimonials via Trustindex. The school has 11-50 employees, no external funding or parent company identified, and is independently owned. Strategic positioning emphasizes differentiation through a hands-on STEM focus and biodiversity program in a market where most competing Brooklyn preschools do not offer comparable live-science classroom environments or dedicated robotics and 3D printing curricula for preschool-aged children.
