Relish the benefits of free early childhood education

As one of New York City’s initiatives to foster the accessibility of early childhood learning, the 3K program provides the opportunity for children to receive early childhood education free of charge. At Little Daydreamers Learning Center 3, a 3K education center in Bronx, New York, we invite 3-year-old children to join our full-day care and learning program for one school year as a stepping stone for kindergarten readiness. In this program, we incorporate various age-appropriate activities that propel and enhance children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development, including the furtherance of their literacy. Parents can expect the duration of our 3K program to last 6 hours and 20 minutes, with the option to avail of our Before Care or After School program (additional charges will apply).
