Founded in 1950 by the Brown University community, Brown Play School is an independent preschool serving three to five year olds in the greater Providence area. The central goals of the school encourages children to be open-minded, creative thinkers who are intrinsically motivated. Our curriculum is based on the Reggio Emilia philosophy of child-centered play and learning. Art exploration is a key element in our school day. We have a dedicated, well-stocked art studio that allows our students to use a variety of medium to create unique pieces of of art, from paintings to sculptures.
Some of our special, “extra” benefits offered to the children are: our greenhouse, a large playground, yoga, woodworking and music. Hours are M-F 8:30 -11:55 (with an earlier drop-off option available) with an extended day option, “lunch bunch” that ends at 2pm.

Stellar learning environment. We were seeking a preschool that was nurturing, encouraged physical activity (they have a great backyard!), offered lots of opportunities to be creative (full-time art teacher!), and provided high quality instruction. Brown Play School fits the bill. I unequivocally recommend this school.

This is my daughter’s second year at Brown Play School and we love it. There are so many centers, plus an art studio that the children can explore. They encourage many tools and ideas for the children in the centers to make up their own projects or centers and I feel because the children delegate their ideas and thoughts they really get enthralled in what they are learning. The teachers are warm and provide a comfortable atmosphere for the children (where my daughter who was always home with me felt like going to school was like going to her other home!) I would highly recommend this school to any parent and I will be sending my second child here when she’s 3!
I also live on the East side of Providence and the school being in Rumford was my only dislike before we looked at the school before we applied, but it takes less than 5 minutes to get there in the morning! Very easy and convenient location!
This is our son’s second year at Brown Play School and next year will be our daughter’s first. We were looking for a play-centric learning environment that instills a love of learning - we got it.
Wood working, yoga, art, greenhouse, play structures, and a thoughtful engaged team to pull it all together. Location is very close to Oak Hill, East Side, Fox Point, Seekonk and of course East Providence RI. Reggio-Emilia philosophy a big +.
