Support Services

Supporting Every Child

At Brooklyn Free Space, we recognize that every child develops, communicates, and learns in their own way. We welcome children who receive support through Early Intervention (EI) and the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) and work collaboratively with families, educators, therapists, and outside providers to support each child’s experience at BFS.

For children with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or other support services, our teachers collaborate with special education professionals and therapists to help integrate services thoughtfully into the child’s school day and classroom experience.

🤝 Partnering with Families

Families are essential partners in understanding and supporting their child. When questions about a child’s development or learning arise, BFS works collaboratively with families to share observations, discuss possible next steps, and help families navigate the process of seeking additional support when appropriate.

Our team can contribute classroom observations and information, participate in meetings when appropriate, and collaborate with the professionals supporting the child.

🌱 Finding the Right Support

Our goal is for every child to feel known, supported, included, and a meaningful part of the BFS community.

When a child requires support beyond what BFS can reasonably provide within our program, we work thoughtfully and collaboratively with the family and relevant professionals to consider what additional resources, services, or educational setting can best support the child.
