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 to Allie’s Place’s youngest learners—and to members of the neighboring community—providing nutritious meals, supervised playtime, yoga, soccer, music classes, and more. We are currently recruiting for the 2025-26 school year. To learn more or apply, please email APECEC@HFHnyc.org.
