The 35th Annual Three Kings Day Parade set for Friday, January 6th 2012

I am not sure if the Bronx has its own Three Kings Celebration, but there is a Three Kings Celebration taking place just over the bridge in East Harlem. If any readers want to educate us about the holiday, please do send us an e-mail or make a comment. From the photos found on the flicker link posted below the event looks like a lot of fun.

Tender Tots Child Care Center Open House, Dec. 28

Here is information sent by a day care center conducting an open house on Dec 28th. I do not have first hand experience with the day care center but thought the information might be useful to Boogiedown readers with children.

Tender Tots Child Care Center Open House, Dec. 28

Bronx, NY – Tender Tots Child Care Center will host an Open House on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 from 11am to 5pm at the 3322 Decatur Avenue location in the Bronx featuring special educational services. All government subsidy programs such as ACS and HRA will be accepted.

If you’re the parents of children ages 0-6 years old and are looking for a clean, safe, nurturing and educational environment, Tender Tots Child Care Center is the place for you and your little ones.

Tender Tots provides fun and stimulating childrens' daycare and pre-school services at two beautiful locations in the Bronx and provides quality childcare services to underserviced neighborhoods with a dedicated staff and round-the-clock efforts towards the development of young children.

We firmly believe that children should grow and develop in a caring environment that encourages their imaginations to blossom and flourish at this important stage in their lives. At Tender Tots, classes are kept to a low student-teacher ratio and the staff consists of carefully handpicked board of education-certified teachers and instructors to implement music, art, and many other exciting programs.

Educational Programs include:

· Infant Program (Ages 0 - 2) - Teachers spend time singing, playing with puppets, and dancing, focusing on primary areas of development and offering a wide variety of motor skill activities.
· Toddler Program (Ages 2 - 3) - Gross motor and social skills are developed through both structured and unstructured play. Days are filled with music, art, dance, story times and more.
· Preschool (Ages 4 - 5) - Games teach pre-reading skills like phonemic awareness, letter and sound recognition, basic math concepts, and hands-on science exploration.
· Kindergarten (Ages 5 - 6) - Mirroring the state curriculum standards, kindergarteners focus on reading, early writing, and basic math.
