Belmont Child Care Assoc

Our Story

At Belmont Child Care Association, Inc. (BCCA), we believe that the first five years of a child's life are the most critical in shaping their future. This is why we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and academically inspiring environment for the children of parents working in the Thoroughbred racing backstretch area located at New York's historic Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack, and Saratoga Race Course.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a comprehensive early childhood education program that prepares young children for elementary school while giving their parents peace of mind knowing that their little ones are safe and cared for. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their family's financial situation. That's why we offer a sliding scale tuition rate and accept government subsidies to ensure that our program is accessible to all families in need.

Our Programs

Our flagship program, The First Five Years Initiative, is an early childhood education program that incorporates a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) based curriculum to prepare children for elementary school. Our program is designed to address the unique needs of the children of backstretch workers, who often face challenging circumstances. Our expert teachers and caregivers provide a nurturing environment that fosters social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.

Accreditation and Evaluation

We are committed to delivering the highest quality education and care to our children. We are accredited by Bright Horizons, a leading provider of early childhood education programs. We also use the Teaching Strategies Gold (TSG) method to measure the success of our programs and evaluate the growth and development of each child. This ensures that our teachers are equipped to provide the best possible care and education for every child in our program.
