I have a long standing relationship with the Director, Samantha Feinman M.S.Ed., TSHH, and the Operations Manager Casey Schmalacker, and have always been grateful for their support, wisdom, extensive knowledge, and genuine kindness. My overall experiences with New Frontiers In learning have exceeded my expectations. I have grown over time since starting here and I have become more confident in myself and my work and gained a better understanding of who I am personally and academically through this coaching center. Coaches and academic leaders such as Casey, Samantha, and Lesley Hayes MAT, ADHD-CE (Coordinator) have helped many people like me reach our goals and understand what we want for the future personally, academically, and within our internships/volunteer work/fellowships/schools etc. My strengths became stronger, and I became aware of my areas of growth and continue to work hard at overcoming them. New Frontiers taught me many things and have helped me through so much. I would definitely recommend New Frontiers In Learning to anyone who is or knows someone who is interested or needs extra help.

When we saw the combination of the space and the teachers, we were over the moon. Old First has a…read morehuge classroom, a huge indoor play space (replete with indoor jungle gym), and a big backyard! There are swings and a playscape in the backyard, as well as a garden! The teachers are so creative and engaging, my daughter never wants to leave school. One day she comes home talking about the painting projects, the next day she breaks into the songs she has learned, another day she talks me through the process of tilling the ground and planting seeds -- turns out they had spent a couple days tilling the ground and planting grass in the backyard. This school encourages a sense of independence and inquisitiveness in its students, and has engaged and delighted my daughter since day 1. It is a truly refreshing and unique find in the otherwise daunting world of Brooklyn preschools.

We sent both our kids to this school and they both had amazing experiences, as did we (this being a…read moreparent-run cooperative.) As others have mentioned, the teachers are great -- and that has been true even with staff changes over the years. The space is extraordinary - there is no other pre-school in Brooklyn that has has a nicer space - worth it for that alone! The school continues its 50-year tradition of progressive education. Your kids won't be saddled with pre-this&that, but will actively develop executive function skills and learn how to function in a school setting. Best of all, they will learn to love school and will look forward to every day at OFNS. OFNS kids generally do very well when they move on to kindergarten. As a parent-run cooperative, parents are much more involved with the school and each other than is probably typical. While the annual Christmas tree sale shifts may be tiring, they are also a great bonding experience, and a lot of fun. Old First Nursery School is one of those things that makes Brooklyn special!
