Pratt Institute
http://www.pratt.edu/saturday_art_school http://www.pratt.edu/
200 Willoughby Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11205

I view this as one of Brooklyn’s most valuable resources, and a little known one at that. Bring your tot(s) to the open campus during daylight hours and enjoy a picnic or stroll on the “Pratt Beach” (two wonderful green grass areas). No dogs are allowed on this 25 acre campus in Clinton Hill so that you aren’t dodging mine fields as your child crawls, sits and plays in the grass. Their sculpture park is the largest one in New York City with approximately 50 sculptures that are on a revolving exhibition.  Birch loves to climb the sculptures, peek in and out of them and just gaze at some of their extreme heights.  The Pratt Power Plant is open to the public and you can explore the engine room and search for the 25 domesticated cats that the engineer takes care of. It is fun to try and spot them all.  The Institute has a great pool of babysitters too: young, energetic and educated.  The MFA open studios that are held twice a year are always interesting and fun to attend with your kids as well as the gallery exhibitions.  They offer a pre-college for students aged 16-18 and Saturday Art School for ages 3-18 and adults. The classes are taught by the esteemed Pratt faculty and some scholarships are provided.
