Buckle My Shoe Preschool is an early childhood center based in New York City, founded in 1981 by Linda Ensko. Serving children from 3 months to 5 years, the school operates within the primary and secondary education sector and emphasizes progressive education approaches that integrate elements of Piaget’s work, Bank Street philosophy, and Reggio Emilia practices to support the whole child. Its program prioritizes emergent curricula guided by children's interests, aiming to foster cognitive, social, and emotional growth through meaningful learning, reflective documentation, and purposeful play. The organization also highlights strong commitments to family and community partnerships, and to creating a rich foundation for lifelong learning, within a setting that supports early childhood development. The institution appears to function with a modestly sized staff and serves families in the New York area through its educational offerings and community-focused approach.
