Who We Are
Since its inception in 1998 in the Canarsie area of Brooklyn, Joy & Gladness Children’s Center has been a cornerstone in the community, offering quality child care that is both reliable and inclusive. In 2009, we expanded our reach by opening a second location in the Brownsville area on Saratoga Ave, thereby widening our footprint and ability to serve families. Renowned for our wholesome, fun environment that welcomes children irrespective of race, gender, or religious beliefs, we have become a trusted name for parents. Our facilities offer a well-rounded academic curriculum enhanced by diverse activities, including sports, music, physical fitness, art, and socialization. Our passionate and thoughtful teachers create a caring and nurturing atmosphere, ensuring that every child feels supported at every step of their developmental journey.
What sets Joy & Gladness apart is our commitment to individualized learning experiences. Recognizing that each child is unique, we encourage them to explore and satisfy their curiosity at their own pace by providing appropriate educational tools. We prioritize safety and well-being through our strict no-bullying policy. Our philosophy of learning through play has led to significant achievements: many of our children have been accepted into various gifted programs throughout the city, and we have seen them excel in diverse academic fields such as music, sports, and engineering. Every day, we continue to prepare our students to become agents of positive social change.
