About our approach
Our Montessori-inspired approach supports early literacy, communication, and school readiness through intentional, play-based learning. Children are introduced to books, language-rich activities, music, and hands-on materials that build vocabulary, listening skills, and early problem-solving.
Daily routines are designed to strengthen focus, independence, and social skills—key foundations for a successful transition into preschool and pre-K settings. Caregivers guide learning with patience and structure, meeting children where they are while encouraging curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
Safety and care are embedded into every part of our daily practice. Children are closely supervised at all times within a calm, predictable environment designed to support regulation and focused engagement. Materials are carefully selected, developmentally appropriate, and introduced with clear expectations to ensure children can explore safely and independently. Consistent routines, gentle transitions, and responsive caregiving help children feel secure, supported, and confident—creating the conditions necessary for meaningful learning and healthy development.
Comprehensive childcare services
Harlem Little Learners is rooted in community and designed to support families as well as children. We recognize that quality childcare is not just about the day-to-day experience of children, but about providing families with a dependable, supportive partner during a critical stage of early development.
Our program creates a stable, welcoming environment where families feel informed, respected, and connected. Through open communication, consistent care, and a shared commitment to children’s growth and well-being, Harlem Little Learners works alongside families to support healthy development, school readiness, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
We offer full and part time options, with daily routines, small group sizes, and warm, responsive caregivers who know each child by name, listen, adapt, and employ safety-first practices. Harlem Little Learners is open 24 hours to meet community needs.
