Welcome to Esther Family Day Care, where every child walks through our door as a guest and leaves feeling like they belong. Located at 945 Underhill Ave, New York, our home-based program has been a trusted haven for children and families in the community for over a decade.
We believe that the best early learning happens in an environment that feels like home — with caring adults who know each child by name, understand their unique temperament, and nurture their curiosity at their own pace. No rushed schedules, no overcrowded rooms — just genuine, attentive care.

Daily updates for parents
Each age group receives a developmentally appropriate curriculum designed to spark curiosity, build social skills, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning — all in a cozy home setting.
Ages 6 weeks – 12 months
Gentle, responsive care for your littlest ones. We follow your child's rhythm — feeding, napping, and playing — while supporting early sensory and motor development through tummy time, songs, and interactive play.
Ages 1 – 3 years
Curious hands, big steps! Our toddler program embraces the wonder of early exploration with structured play, art, music, and outdoor time. We nurture independence — from self-feeding to choosing their activities.
Ages 3 – 5 years
Building school-ready confidence through play-based learning. Children explore letters, numbers, science, and social-emotional skills while developing the focus and independence they need for kindergarten.
In a city full of options, parents choose us because we offer something rare: the consistency, warmth, and individualized attention that only a small, home-based program can provide.
We keep our groups intentionally small so every child receives the focused attention they deserve — no rushing from one activity to the next.
Our space is a real home — not an institution. Childproofed, cozy, and filled with age-appropriate toys, books, and a backyard for outdoor play.
Parents stay connected with daily updates about meals, naps, activities, and milestones — because we know peace of mind matters to you.
Full-time, part-time, or occasional — we work with your family's schedule, not the other way around. Early drop-off and late pickup available.
