Educators at PS 36 love their school, but they're also a little bit worried about it. Lots of them have worked there for 10 years or more, and they're proud of how the school approaches early childhood education with an emphasis on the arts and a constant effort to collaborate with experts outside the school. One full-time teacher's program, for example, is called "Creative Arts." It introduces these very young children to performance through storytelling and puppetry.

The "Shadowbox Players," a professional puppet troupe,. . .
