Description: Phipps Neighborhoods helps children, youth, and families in low-income communities rise above poverty. We work in South Bronx neighborhoods where we can address the greatest barriers to lasting success through education and career programs, and access to community resources.
We’re dedicated to our neighborhoods for the long term, supporting individuals and families as they establish self-sufficiency. Our services create opportunities for people to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
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.

An excellent facility with caring staff. They came to my family's aid when we needed it most. My son is now a senior at NYU.
Thanks Shaman, Yolanda, Jose, and two other favorite people whose names I have forgotten: The principal (1999-2001) and Shaman's co-teacher (I can't believe her name has escaped me. She was very caring).
