The Booker T. Washington Learning Center operates under the umbrella of The Center for Life and Faith. Our mission is to provide children with a well-rounded and individualized learning experience that includes cognitive, social, creative and physical development so that they can thrive.
Our greatest desire is for our children to love learning and realize their greatest potential.
To do this, we provide a caring, stimulating, and engaging environment in which each child can develop a love of learning.
Our preschool was established in 1990.
In addition to caring for preschool aged children, we also host a summer camp, afterschool program, and employment and support for youth and young adults.
Our preschool is designed so that each classroom to meets the developmental needs of its children. We focus on the whole child and encourage learning through play. We have a toddler program, preschool and pre-k programs. All of our programs place a strong emphasis on art, literacy and science.
Our school day is 8:00 am to 3:00 pm with an extended day option.
Our Executive Director has been a resident of East Harlem for 50 years and has been at Booker T. for 33 years. She has dedicated her life to the education and success of our children.
Our carefully selected staff is made up of talented, loving and skilled professionals who ensure that every child is nurtured, encouraged and exposed to new experiences.
