Welcome to the Red Balloon Early Childhood Learning Center located in Morningside Heights in New York City. Founded in 1972, the Center provides a year-round, full-day program that caters to the needs of the working and student families on the Upper West Side.
Our children range in age from 2 to 5 years old. We have three classrooms:
Yellow Room: 2 years old (up to 11 children) Blue Room: 3 years old (up to 16 children) Orange Room: 4 years old (up to 20 children)
Each classroom has 3 staff members including a State Certified Head Teacher with a master's degree in Early Childhood Education.
Our doors open at 8:00am and close at 6:00 pm. The children can arrive as late as 9:30 and are picked up from 4:00 on. We provide breakfast between 9:00-9:30, a hot nutritious lunch, and an afternoon snack. The vast majority of our children participate in our full-time program. We have a limited two day and three day program, both full days.
