Philosophy

At A and K Group Family Daycare Corp. & Wonderschool we believe that play-based learning occurs when children have the opportunity to be both entertained and interested. We give kids the opportunity to be creative and develop their imagination by fostering an environment that is secure and lets them feel capable of growing.

Location

Our program is located in a safe and secure apartment building in the Concourse Village area of the Bronx. We are conveniently located near the 161st St station on the B and D trains and the park nearby is great for outdoor play.

About our program

Our curriculum and plans are created monthly. We like to organize time for kids based on what’s happening in the world - whether it’s a holiday or time of the year, we have lesson plans that keep us organized.

We believe in letting children feel powerful, unique, and creative. This comes from helping them to be independent and confident.

The physical space is set up to meet children’s ages. We have an infant/toddler room as well as pre-k room with materials that are developmentally appropriate and engaging.
