Welcome to the Red Balloon Learning Center. Located in the Morningside Heights/Harlem community, we provide a twelve month program for children two to five years old.
The Red Balloon seeks to create a community of children, parents, teachers and administrators that provides a safe, creative, and nurturing environment where very young children can learn by making their own choices and exploring through hands on activities and through play. Through play children learn about cultural norms and expectations and discover the workings of their world as they negotiate their surroundings. Play teaches them about themselves, others, rules, consequences, how things go together or come apart. Play also fosters language.
We consider ourselves a team and a family. This means we are also here to service the needs of our parents as well as train them to be advocates for their children. In the end we succeed because we are a community whose ultimate goal is the positive growth of each child. This is all done in a school that celebrates diversity.
