The Katmint Learning Initiative
About
The Katmint Learning Initiative is a school that believes in progressive education. We understand that in order to efficiently focus on the development of the Whole–Child there is no one method or way to teaching a child in which caters solely to the individuality of every student. Therefore we offer a best of both worlds approach by incorporating multiple philosophies such as Bank Street, Montessori and emergent curriculum into our primarily play based curriculum. We accept children 2 to 5 Years and offer School-Age services. Families with private pay or ACS and HRA vouchers assistance are welcomed.

My girls have been attending The Katmint for i think almost two years and boy this place is like their second home. From the staff to the parents, such an amazing community. The stuff takes good care and is very attentive to the kids. The directors really care for the family and provide excellent service. My girls love going to school everyday. 😊 thank you Katmint for everything you do!

My now 7 year old attended Katmint and my 2 year old goes there. I love this preschool so much! The vision of the school, the programs offered and (especially) the teachers are so amazing!! I wouldn’t want to send my kids anywhere else in Brooklyn!

We were among the 1st families welcomed to the Katmint family. Our daughter spent 3 amazing years there. The intimate care given to her by each and every staff member can not be quantified. While there were a few growing pains we always had a platform to discuss concerns and our goals for our daughter which were well met. The programs and offerings are extremely well thought out and diverse, the children are exposed to a plethora of activities ranging from crafts, field trips, yoga, and even Dj-ing to name a few. The Katmint is not a daycare or school its a community oriented family filled with amazing children and a staff that has left a tremendously positive impact on our daughter. Thank You Katmint!

More than a few of us families migrated to Katmint as we each heard from each other that the school was nice. After just a few months in we've all realized there are major issues with poor communication and honesty. Not saying you shouldn't try for yourself, but for a good handful of families - bad taste in our mouths from the experience.

Our son attended Katmint from age 22 months to 3.5 years. He loved it and so did we!! I never had a doubt that my son wasn't being cared for exceptionally well. He was always seen as an individual, not a number. He was potty-trained there, he learned to express himself and his feelings there, he learned to identify all the letters of the alphabet there, he learned to write his name there, he learned to read site words there, he learned to share and to take responsibility for his behavior there. I wish I could say that I taught him these things myself, but I give the Katmint staff all the credit. From yoga, to gardening, to music, to capoeira, to science, to drama and dance... He had the most well-rounded learning experience. Our family loves and misses the Katmint dearly. Now that our son has started pre-k, I fear that nothing will live up to our high expectations of what early childhood education should be. The Katmint is a small business, and has its glitches like any other. But my son was loved and a part of a diverse, genuine community, and that's what matters most. I would reccomended the Katmint to anyone!

I LOVE the Katmint! My daughter attended two other daycares before I found the Katmint and I found the perfect match for me and my family. Why do I love the Katmint: 1) The teachers/adminstrators are patient, energetic, and full of love. My daughter loves her teachers and whenever I see the teachers/staff interacting with her or others, I feel so affirmed in my decision to move her to the Katmint. They always greet her with a hug, treat her with dignity, are responsive to her needs, and see every moment as a learning opportunity. 2) Constant Learning: My 2.5 year old daughter loves school and often re-enacts circle time, story time, and "show and tell." She is exposed to extra curricular activities (yoga, music, gardening, capoeira,etc), l they go on "trips" around the neighborhood, she earns numbers and shapes in spanish, and there are regular meeting with parents to review progress and learning. Even while students are waiting for pick up, they are teaching songs that reinforce learning. 3) They authentically value parents and their role. They welcome parents to visit any Friday (on parent participation Fridays) and even had the students send me a thank you card and the director/staff genuinely listen and respond to feedback. Whenever I pick up Alaila, the teachers are eager to share how Alaila's day went and keep me up to speed.
