We have high standards for quality education for the communities we serve. We intentionally staff our schools with teachers who are talented, fun, and genuinely enthusiastic about child development and learning. We provide safe, healthy, caring, and stimulating environment for children ages 6 weeks through 13 years old. The program is oriented to the individual child and attends to the cultural diversity and differing needs, interests and developmental levels of the children served. Our high scope curriculum involves Abeka, Aleks, Reggio Emilio, Prodigy, & S.T.E.A.M. Our childcare center is a learning factory; hence the name; where children use their curious minds, become creative, explore, and learning about everything the world offers.

Hello, my name is Angelina Cintron and I operate a homemade Childcare Center in the local Astoria area in area code 11106. The Early Scholars Education Program operates on the notion that children grow and learn most efficiency with consistent hands on exploration and experiences. This program promotes young children to make their own decisions and seek discoveries from a nurturing and positively stimulating atmosphere. While cultivating each child's unique personality, I also strive and take pride in preparing and guiding their social growth based on an invigorating group setting. Children are also prepared for early academics as they grow towards their school aged years. Recognizing that no two children are on the same developmental path, this program adjusts purposeful education that incorporates flexible learning and care to foster each child's individual needs and interests. More than just a daycare, I offer young children the opportunity to become a part of a loving, healthy, and safe community to help them flourish and reach their true potential. This program provides care for ages 6 weeks to 5 years old and school aged during Summer and days schools are closed. Please contact me for a tour/interview at 347-832-0320, 914-355-0320 or earlyscholars@hotmail.com Services offered: *Flexible and affordable tuition rates and hours (please inquire within) *3 Daily Nutritious snacks *Weekly Lesson planning to promote early academics tailored to your child's current age and developmental stage *Emergency/Drop off Back up care *Outdoor exploration *Daily reports/documentations of your child's developmental progress via email and paper (including photos and live video ) Qualifications: *Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education (birth-2 years) *Trained in (adult and pediatric) CPR, First Aid, AED (manual and automatic) and fire extinguisher usage. *M.A.T (Medication Administration Training) to administer over the counter and prescribed medications. *Qualified to diagnose and treat airway obstructions, external bleeding and shock, broken bones, burns, hygiene/sanitation and evaluate hazardous symptoms by establishing basic medical treatments for adults, young children and infants.

At Lefferts Garden Promise, exceptional childcare is our promise. To us, that means not only providing a safe, clean, and nurturing environment but also equipping children in our care with the skills they need to thrive in a global society. We employ elements of inquiry-based learning, and we truly value learning through play. It is important to us that we encompass a wide array of themes, subjects and elements crucial for child development. Our school takes inspiration from the Montessori and Reggio Emilia learning models. With that said, we really place emphasis on hands-on learning, developing real-life skills and really working with the child’s natural curiosity. We also provide a dual language program. Students are exposed to both Spanish and English, as we recognize the developmental benefits that come from teaching children more than one language at a young age. We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm with the option of extended care until 6:00pm. We offer daily rates, weekly rates and provide a 10% discount for families that opt for our monthly rate. We also accept subsidies, including HRA & ACS vouchers. At our school, one of core values is to provide a community hub where families can gather to learn and celebrate together. Our program’s success is magnified when there is open communication and collaboration amongst our team, parents and the community at large. While we have an open door policy, we actively work to do our part in keeping those lines of communication open. We host parent nights, where families meet with teachers and administrators to discuss school procedures, events, outreach and policies. We have family day once a month where families are invited to participate in activities during the school day with children. Our school's environment was specifically designed to encourage social, emotional, physical and academic growth. We achieve these things by utilizing various tools for fine motor skill development, providing distinct areas for play and social exploration and much much more. We understand that children learn best when their needs are met and they are in an environment that allows for and encourages learning. Our school’s environment, our dedicated staff and our all-encompassing curriculum is a direct reflection of that. If interested, please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule a tour. We would love to have you!
