The Brooklyn Kindergarten Society (BKS) is the original “born in Brooklyn”. We were founded in 1891, and for 130 years, BKS has helped provide high-quality early childhood education to some of Brooklyn’s most vulnerable children. BKS has grown up with the borough and continues to be a leader on equal access to a high quality early childhood education. BKS sees its mission as providing an equal first educational step to some of our borough’s youngest learners.
