The Red Balloon Early Childhood Learning Center, located in Morningside Heights, 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 in three classes:

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 hours are 8:00am-6:00 pm.  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 nutritious lunch, and an afternoon snack. The vast majority of our children participate in our full-time program.  We have limited spaces in 2-day and 3-day programs, both full days.

Our major fundraising event is just around the corner - check back soon for details!
