From before they take their first steps until the day they walk into their kindergarten classroom, our littlest ones are ready to be healthy, lifelong learners.
ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥â€™s Aid Early Childhood programs nurture and serve more than 1,000 children (ages 0-5) and their families during the most critical stages of childhood development.
Cradle-to-kindergarten
The guiding principles of our early childhood work are to help children develop a greater sense of self, a respect for others, and a deep love of learning. We also work with families to engage them as active partners in their children’s development.
Our work begins in the home with infants and young toddlers. We stimulate social-emotional learning and motor skills through weekly home visits and play groups.
When children turn 2, they transition into our classroom-based preschool programs, which continue until the child turns 5 and moves on to kindergarten. Our high-quality model is based on an effective. research-based curriculum, low student-to-teacher ratios, and strong professional development for staff. All ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥ early childhood programs are licensed by the New York City Department of Health.
