Welcome to The Little Strathmore Schoolhouse!
The Little Strathmore Schoolhouse is located in a private residence in the Strathmore neighborhood of Syracuse, NY. I'm Katy Barrett, early childhood explorer and guide, and homeschooling Mama to three little ones of my own.
I offer Reggio-Emilia-inspired nursery school playgroups in my home, on Monday and Thursday mornings, for children ages 18 months through 4 years old, as well as date night playgroups for families, and a summer art intensive program for young children.

I've been teaching for nearly 20 years, most of them spent in early childhood education. My bachelor's degree is in Early Childhood Special Education, and my master's is in Elementary Special Education. In 2013, I opened a home nursery school, after deciding to homeschool my own kids. My husband Chris teaches high school art. We collaborate to offer date night playgroups and early childhood art intensive summer playgroups.
