Helping Shape Future Generations

The Pillars Child Care offers a unique, award-winning and innovative educational program for infants 6 weeks to preschoolers of 5 years.

The Pillars’ goal is to provide a loving, caring, educational family-friendly child care center. We believe children should be exposed to new experiences and empowered to grow both mentally and physically.

Our intergenerational shared-site program provides opportunities for The Pillars of Prospect Park community members and the children in our child care to enjoy shared activities.

Our intergenerational programs provide opportunities to learn socialization and cultural awareness. Children learn patience and understanding in a diverse world.

Intergenerational Activities

Our intergenerational shared-site program is set apart from more traditional child care programs. The Pillars children and their “Grandfriends” bond over scheduled activities and informal encounters. They share stories, games, music, art, hugs and so much more. These shared activities increase empathy, understanding, purpose and engagement.

Infants

In our infant classroom, for babies 6 weeks to 18 months, we believe babies develop best on their own schedule. Our infant curriculum is designed to meet each infant’s individual needs. Our professional staff is well trained and dedicated to giving your baby a loving, nurturing environment. You’ll get daily communication about your child’s schedules, napping and well-being.

Toddlers

Toddlers love to explore, create, question and learn through play. The Pillars Child Care offers toddlers 18 months to 33 months old learning opportunities in a safe, secure environment. We provide a blend of freedom to help them learn at their own pace, as well as structured learning opportunities.

Preschool

Our preschool classroom, for kids 33 months to 5 years, has an inviting atmosphere that encourages children to laugh, learn and play. All lessons are designed to prepare your child for a smooth transition to kindergarten, and to build a foundation for your child to be successful in everyday life.
