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!

The early childhood years are a precious time. The birth of a child begins a journey of exploration of the world. We honor the child in this journey, and with love and care, we help support their growth and development. Our Licensed Early Childhood Family Daycare program welcomes children from four weeks to five years of age. Our Remote Learning, Holiday (out of school) and After-School program welcome children from five to twelve years of age. We recognize the different developmental stages of the young child and help them transition with ease and at their own pace. Our space invites children to explore, play and work. We offer meaningful, practical activities such as preparing snacks by making bread, from milling the wheat to kneading the dough, and washing and cutting vegetables to make soup. There are artistic activities such as watercolor painting, drawing and crafts. During creative and self-directed play, the child is given the freedom to explore the environment. Through imaginative play, children work to understand the world they are living in and develop social skills with their classmates. We support this by being present and allowing the children to begin and end unique adventures either through indoor or outdoor play. We bring our daily activities into a happy and steady rhythm which supports a feeling of security in the children and supports a healthy social experience. Our daily rhythm includes outdoor play, indoor play, storytelling, family-style meals and a peaceful rest. It is our intent and commitment to provide an environment where children can feel safe and connected to a day and time in their community. Our program is a bilingual program. We present Spanish day by day in an organic way. The language flows through our day and invites the children to make it their own.

I babysit children from ages 1-7. I take them out to do all sorts of activities, I cooked dinner for the kids, I also had to grocery shop and do light housekeeping. I have also picked up & dropped off the kids to and from school and helped with homework. I would make sure homework is done and they have eaten. Also they have showered, brushed their teeth and have them ready for bed. I am young, but I am very reliable, responsible and trustworthy.
