ACS Child Care Options

To create a more unified birth-to-five early care and education system in New York City, EarlyLearn programs will now be managed by the New York City Department of Education (DOE). This change will not disrupt services for families with children currently enrolled in EarlyLearn programs.

Visit the EarlyLearn NYC page on the DOE website to understand your options, find a program that is right for your family, and enroll your child.
