Early Childhood Services
Early Childhood Development Centers
Early Childhood Services at Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens offer comprehensive quality programs through Head Start programs, child care centers and family day care, each designed to foster the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of preschoolers in a safe environment.
Our award-winning, fully-compliant daycare and Head Start centers conduct a family-oriented child development program for approximately 2,400 children each year, ensuring that they receive the best education possible for the best future possible.
Childcare Guided by the Montessori Approach
We use the Montessori approach to early childhood education because it best meets the needs of children from birth to age seven. To uphold our commitment to quality education, our Caritas Center provides Montessori training to our early childhood staff. In addition, Caritas also helps provide essential learning materials for more than 90 classrooms at our sites — materials such as number rods, sandpaper letters and much more.
Please support our vital work with a tax-deductible donation today. We place the highest value on the stewardship of your gifts, with 91 cents of every dollar going directly into services for our neighbors in need.
