A child-centered
materials lab and exploratory space
for learning through art and play.

Welcome to Willow Nest Studio

We offer a host of options for children ages 2-9 to learn through the arts while experiencing the great outdoors at Prospect Park. All of our programs are currently drop-off. We have four different options to choose from.

Our Location

Located on the second floor of a sunlit studio, on a beautiful tree-lined street in Windsor Terrace, and across the street from Prospect Park, children are cared for and inspired within the studio's nest walls, as well as shepherded safely into the park for forested, nature walks and playful explorations in the great outdoors. The path to the beautiful meadow across the street is just a few minute's walk. Outdoor play is an integral part of the program and happens every day that weather permits.

The Willow Nest Studio space has been carefully designed with young children in mind, thoughtfully outfitted with a materials lab, an extensive children's library, and moveable spaces for light and shadow play and fort building. It also provides room for theatric arts and movement, art centers for paint and clay,  spaces for loose parts constructions, and a fort for cozy, restful comfort. The space is open and full of transformative possibility.
