Early Childhood Center
For children ages 3 to 6 years, attending the Lenox Hill Neighborhood
House Early Childhood Center is always an exciting adventure. The preschool
provides a rich educational curriculum year-round for 143 children from
all five boroughs and dozens of ethnicities, many of them from low-income
families. Our program prepares children for success in kindergarten and
later grades by working on socialization, motor and academic skills. We
also provide an introduction to pre-literacy and early math skills as
well as to computers, art, music and swimming. Our center is accredited
by the National Associate for the Education of Young Children. This prestigious
recognition, only achieved by approximately 7% of early childhood programs
nationwide, certifies that the Neighborhood House's early childhood program
meets national standards of excellence in childcare.

Family Resources
Lenox Hill Neighborhood House’s family workers help parents become
and remain involved in their children’s education, both inside and
outside of school. Our experienced, diverse and well-qualified staff members
provide social and health services for families, including referrals for
the services and the entitlements they need to survive and thrive. In
addition, they instruct and guide participants through a wide variety
of activities, support groups and workshops.
Designed to reduce the feelings of isolation often experienced by single parents, our Single Parents Group provides a forum for open discussion on all aspects of single life as well as on raising children alone. In our Fathers Group, men gather to discuss the challenges and rewards of raising children as well as other topics of interest to men including stress, health issues, marriage and self esteem. Childcare is available during meetings of both groups.
