Access to early childhood education is critical for all children. HFH currently runs three community-based Early Childhood Education Centers—one in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens and two in the Bronx.

Our Centers offer UPK programs for children born in 2021 and 2022. Staff are Certified Teachers, licensed by the NYC Department of Education. Programs run full-day with breakfast, hot lunch, and snacks, and programming includes activities such as yoga, soccer, music classes, and more. There are free and low-cost options.

For specifics on enrolling your child, hours, and more details, please reach out to each Center directly at:

We spoke with Keena Richards, Director of Family Services at Saratoga, about what it looks like to support families from the moment they arrive in shelter—identifying immediate needs, building long-term stability, and recognizing progress at every stage.
In our conversation, she shares why success isn’t only defined by moving out, but by the meaningful steps families take along the way.
