A note from Lucia
Call me. I answer the phone myself.
Ciao. For over twenty years this home on Ohm Avenue has been a little world for Bronx children — five to sixteen little ones, myself and three other people, English and Italian at the table.
If you are looking for care, don’t send a form. Call or text (914) 755-2107. Tell me your child’s age and what you need. We’ll see if we have a spot, then you come see the room.
— Lucia

A day here
Tap through the rhythm
The same gentle order most weekdays — so children know what comes next.
7:00
Welcome
Doors open and a hello at the door.
What families want
Safety, consistency, and a loving room to grow
Safe & clean
A tidy, supervised home setting with clear policies, daily sanitizing, and consistent adult eyes on every child.
Warm & nurturing
Children are held, comforted, and known by name. We never use cry-it-out, yelling, or shame.
Learning through play
Art, music, outdoor time, and hands-on toys build language, motor skills, and confidence the natural way.
Family partnership
Respectful daily updates, an open door for visits, and bilingual English / Italian conversation with families.

Infant, toddler, and preschool care
