Directory of Infant and Toddler Programs
Since there are so many different types of child care programs, it may be difficult to decide between a parochial school, day care center, or Montessori school for your child. The difference between each of these institutions is subtle; some emphasize learning through play while others offer a more structured academic program. In the following pages you will find a directory of infant and toddler programs in a range of prices along with a brief description of the school and its academic philosophy. Again, it is important to state that we are not endorsing, recommending, or ranking any of the schools or programs found in this guide. This handbook is meant to serve as a tool to get you started in your search for childcare options in the city. We encourage you to think about additional questions and concerns you may have about your child's specific academic, emotional, and social needs prior to choosing a child care setting for them.
