Samuel J.Heyman Early Childhood Center

Samuel J. Heyman Early Childhood Center sits in the middle of a quiet block on Second Avenue, 339, where the morning school rush blends with the steady hum of the neighborhood. Preschools here share the street with older apartment buildings and the occasional food cart, creating a rhythm all its own. Between story time and snack rotations, they keep small hands busy and curious minds engaged—long before the city’s bells begin chiming. Between the brownstone stoops and the corner deli lies the center; a quick call will connect you directly. It’s tucked among the same blocks where parents double-check maps while holding toddlers’ wrists, so parking on side streets never comes as a surprise.
