Who We Are
We are a diverse alliance of education entrepreneurs, mostly women, who are owners and founders of pre-schools, day cares, nursery schools, PreKs, and early childhood programs. Our programs serve families across the full socio-economic and ethnic spectrum of Manhattan. We are members of the Citywide Alliance of Early Childhood and Grade School Programs. Through membership in this larger group of organizations from across the city, we are actively engaged in representing our membership to city, state and federal policy makers and public officials.
