We are currently revising our admissions materials for the 2009-2010 school year. Updated information about our program, fall tours, and application materials will be posted by mid-August on our website.Thank you for your interest in Brooklyn Friends Preschool. If you have any questions please call us at 718-852-1029, ext 240.

November 20, 2007 UPDATE: Because of very limited space in our rising 1st grade and the number of applications already received, we can no longer guarantee an appointment for an interview for applications received after November 20. If you still wish to apply, please send in an application (by November 30) without the application fee. We will contact you if more spaces become available.

NOTE: Fall 2007 tours for K-12 September 2008 enrollment will conclude on November 29. Accepted applicants who have not had a fall tour will have an opportunity to tour the school before their contracts are due. Any tours scheduled after that time are for September 2009 enrollment.

September 21, 2007 UPDATE: Applications for Preschool 2s and 3s are currently exceeding anticipated openings, and the deadline for application to these classes is now Thursday, September 27, 2007. Applications received after that date will be placed in a wait pool. We have many applications for Family Center and Preschool 4s as well, and we anticipate having to close applications for these classes within a few weeks. Please apply soon.

NOTE: Preschool applications for siblings of current students, siblings of those who are applying to other grades at BFS, children of alumni/ae, and children of members of the NY Quarterly Meeting, will continue to be accepted until November 30, although we would appreciate receiving the application before then.
