Carmilla and staff are great!

Philosophy

We believe that children learn through play. Our environment and our observant teachers work to develop children’s independence. We believe that play allows children to better understand the world around them and better relate to one another. Children who play learn to be risk takers.

Bruno Child Care has proudly served the diverse community of Murray Hill for the past 15 years.

Location

We are located in the Strauss building. The program occupies two rooms that have plenty of sunlight and age appropriate furniture. Within the space, there are multiple activity areas for children to explore and experience open play. The decorations and layout have been put together to provide opportunities for a number of sensory explorations in the comfort of our home.

Murray Hill offers offers a fantastic environment for the children and our neighborhood, including access to a nearby park, which we take the students to every day (weather permitting).
