Our Infants, Toddlers, and Twos program offers children 3 to 36 months the opportunity to explore inspiring and supporting learning environments, while building joyful relationships with peers and teachers. In partnership with families, we support each child’s unique development by drawing connections between home and school. Caregiving routines such as feeding and diapering are relished as important opportunities for building trust, confidence, and dialogue. Teachers listen to what children communicate—verbally and non-verbally—as they construct a curriculum and classroom environment informed by children’s evolving interests and abilities.  

Enrollment Pathways  

We braid funding in order to serve families across the Lower East Side; half of our Infants, Toddlers, and Twos seats are funded by tuition, and half are funded by Early Head Start (tuition-free for eligible families). Our online application provides guidance through our different enrollment pathways.  

Regardless of funding, all children receive breakfast, lunch, and snack daily, as well as free diapers at school. We offer limited fee-based aftercare options.
