The Bronx Early Learning Center is a vibrant and nurturing preschool community for children ages 3 to 5 years. This exceptional school serves children with a range of developmental delays as well as typically developing children. The Bronx Early Learning Center serves 320 children in 22 classrooms and in their homes. A typical student-to-staff ratio per classroom is 1 teacher to 12 students, with 2 teaching assistants. This ratio allows for an enhanced learning experience for the students. In addition to classroom teachers, social workers, a psychologist, full-time nurse and speech, physical and occupational therapists are on-site.

Students are provided with developmentally-appropriate experiences in a culturally and linguistically diverse environment that focuses on social/emotional skills, academic readiness skills, gross and fine motor skills, language and creative arts. The school uses a nationally renowned curriculum, the Creative Curriculum for Preschool, which balances both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning, with an emphasis on responding to children’s various learning styles, and building on their strengths and interests.
