A Short, Simple Commute from Prospect Heights
Prospect Heights and Crown Heights share Brooklyn Community Board 8 and a boundary at Washington Avenue, so the walk to Little Me is genuinely close, not a stretch. Families near the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, or Mount Prospect Park can reach 1539 Dean Street on foot via Franklin Avenue or Classon Avenue in about 15 to 20 minutes, or take the 2/3/4/5 one stop from Park Place or Franklin Avenue–Medgar Evers College.
Prospect Heights has grown considerably over the past decade, with a wave of young families settling into brownstones and newer developments alike, drawn by proximity to Prospect Park and the neighborhood’s museum-and-garden cluster. Many of those families end up looking slightly east, into Crown Heights, once they start comparing daycare and preschool options. The neighborhood boundary rarely tracks with where good childcare options actually sit.

A Curriculum Built Around Real Kindergarten Readiness
Families choosing daycare in Prospect Heights are often weighing several strong options on curriculum and communication as much as location. At Little Me, that means a real preschool curriculum focused on literacy, math and social-emotional skills, daily Brightwheel updates so you always know how the day went, and small ratios at every age from infant through preschool. We find that families coming from Prospect Heights ask particularly detailed questions about kindergarten placement and readiness, understandably, since many are weighing private-school and gifted-program admissions down the line, and we’re glad to talk through our approach to literacy and math in that context.
