The Prospect Panthers transformed into mad scientists—designing, building, and painting their own paper-mâché volcano before making it erupt with the classic baking soda + vinegar combo. 🌋 The experiment combined teamwork, creativity, and science, teaching the kids about chemical reactions while giving them the chance to craft a realistic-looking volcano masterpiece.

Allie’s Place Family Residence
Allie’s Place Family Residence (APFR), opened in March 2020, combines the services of a traditional family shelter with a full range of programs designed to meet the needs of both the shelter residents and members of the surrounding neighborhood of Soundview in the Bronx.
APFR has 99 studio units for families with children, generally accommodating a pregnant mother or family consisting of one parent and one child. On-site services include nursery/childcare, early childhood education, afterschool & recreation programs, social services, including housing assistance, and access to on-site substance use treatment through Camelot. APFR is the location of a 3,200 sq. ft state-of-the art Culinary Education & Employment Center.
Allie’s Place Early Childhood Education Center
APFR is home to the Baby Gators, the mascot for the nursery and Early Childhood Education Center. The nursery is designed to provide childcare services to children under 24 months on-site so that parents can work or take culinary training courses to prepare for work. The nursery is open only to residents.
An NYC Department of Education Pre-K and 3-K program is open for Allie’s Place’s youngest learners, providing nutritious meals, supervised playtime, yoga, soccer, music classes and more.
Allie’s Place Afterschool & Recreation
The children and youth, ages five to 16, who attend the Allie’s Place Afterschool & Recreation program chose the Allie’s Gator as their program mascot. Monday through Friday, from 3 to 6 pm, the afterschool and rec team provides an environment that creates a sense of belonging, builds academic confidence, and helps foster new interests and friendships. Their objective is to provide a fun, safe, and enriching environment.
