Welcome to 95th St Early Education Center
At 95th St Early Education Center, we believe that the first years of a child’s life are the most foundational. Our mission is to provide a nurturing, high-quality environment where children don't just learn—they thrive.
Our Philosophy: Play with Purpose
We believe that play is the work of the child. Our curriculum is rooted in developmentally appropriate, play-based learning, ensuring that every activity is tailored to the physical, social, and emotional needs of our students. By transforming our classrooms into laboratories of discovery, we turn natural play into meaningful educational milestones.
Fostering Curiosity & STEM
In an ever-changing world, the ability to ask "why" and "how" is the greatest skill a child can possess. We integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) concepts into our daily routines to spark lifelong curiosity. Whether it’s building complex block structures or exploring the wonders of nature, our students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills from day one.
Our Greatest Asset: Dedicated Staff
The heart of our center is our team of highly trained, passionate educators. Our staff members are more than just teachers; they are mentors and caregivers who are deeply committed to the success of every child. With a focus on continuous professional development and a genuine love for early childhood education, our team ensures a safe, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere for all families.
The Path to Kindergarten Readiness
We understand that the transition to "big school" is a major milestone. Our program is intentionally designed to ensure Kindergarten readiness by focusing on:
Social-Emotional Growth: Building confidence, empathy, and cooperation.
Literacy & Language: Developing a love for stories and communication.
Cognitive Skills: Mastering the basics of logic, patterns, and memory.
