Enrolling in BeSpace programs comes with a range of benefits designed to nurture your child’s growth and learning. Our programs cater to various age groups, typically ranging from 4–13 years.
Ages 4–13

- Delivered in your classroom, center or community space
- All materials planned and provided
- Group sizes shaped around your setting

Questions
Good to know
What ages do you work with?
Our programs cater to various age groups, typically ranging from 4–13 years. We also design workshops in creativity for infants, toddlers and families — get in touch and we will shape something for your group.
Where do sessions take place?
We come to you. Sessions run in schools, early childhood and educational centers, community spaces and outdoors in parks and school grounds across New York.
Do you provide materials?
Yes. Materials are planned as part of the session design and provided unless we have agreed otherwise — often we will also use what your setting already has, since the best material is frequently already in the room.
Can you build something custom for our school?
That is most of what we do. We create custom curriculum plans integrating process-based learning and Reggio Emilia–inspired approaches, built around your existing programming and your team.
How far ahead should we book?
For single workshops and events, a few weeks is usually comfortable. For multi-week series and professional development partnerships, reach out as early as you can so we can plan properly with your team.
