The Early Learning Center is a support service for student parents at Baruch, providing care and education for young children aged 2 ½ through 5 years. The Center is open from 8:00am to 5:45pm Monday through Thursday and Fridays from 8:00am to 2:30pm. The Center also has a 6 to 7 week summer program. Schedules may vary but on any attending day a child needs to be in school by 10:00 am and must attend for at least 3 hours. It is not a drop off service. Through a rich offering of activities including music, woodworking, animal care, dramatic play, trips, storytelling, cooking and daily outdoor play, the Center supports children’s curiosity and learning. Staffed by certified teachers, it is licensed by the NYC Department of Health and is accredited by NAEYC. Family support and events, assistance with school placement, evaluation and referral help as needed, and lending libraries provide additional support to student families.
