WHY CHP?
The moment you walk through the door at Cobble Hill Playschool, you know you’re somewhere special. A unique part of the local Brooklyn community for over 40 years, CHP is more than a preschool. It’s a home away from home for children and their families. It’s a nurturing, creative environment that encourages learning and discovery through play – where children learn to be curious, confident, creative, and above all, kind.

diversity, equity & inclusion at CHP
We are committed to incorporating diversity and multiculturalism into the curriculum to foster a warm and inclusive learning environment. We embrace the principles of anti-bias education and support diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identification, socio-economic class, family structure, religion, language, culture, ability, and learning style.
In 2020, we launched a multiyear initiative to make CHP a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive place to work and play. Learn more here.
