Description: The Bloomingdale Family Program serves 180 three-year-old and four-year-old children at three sites: 125 West 109th Street, 171 West 107th Street, and 987 Columbus Avenue (between 108th and 109th Streets). There are no charges for the program.
We offer an enriched early childhood curriculum that addresses the abilities and needs of each child. Children who can benefit from individual help receive one-to-one speech, occupational, and play therapy as part of their school experience. To ensure that our children continue to succeed and thrive after Bloomingdale, we offer after-school tutoring and support through the elementary grades.
Our classrooms are bilingual in Spanish and English, and our families represent many different backgrounds and nationalities. Our Social Service staff focuses on the needs and aspirations of parents and helps parents take advantage of opportunities for education, training and employment. More than two-thirds of Bloomingdale's staff began as parents and earned their professional credentials with our help.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
