BCC EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER IS ACCEPTING ENROLLMENT FOR  Summer and Fall 2025!

The center currently has seats available for Bronx Community College Students.

Children between the ages of 6 weeks – 5 yrs. 

Congratulations to Our Resilient Student-Parents!

We proudly salute the estimated 5,000 CUNY graduates who achieved their academic dreams while raising children—a remarkable accomplishment that speaks to their strength, determination, and unwavering commitment.

At Bronx Community College and across CUNY, success stories like theirs are made possible in part by the support of the University’s 17 child care centers, which provide a safe, nurturing environment for their little ones while parents pursue higher education.

In “It Take a Village” by Sabrina Kippes  meet two inspiring student-parents who’ve been thriving thanks to this essential support system. From balancing late-night study sessions with bedtime stories to crossing the graduation stage with kids cheering in the crowd—they’re proving that parenting and higher education can go hand in hand.

To all our graduating parents: You’ve done more than earn a degree—you’ve set a powerful example for the next generation. ‍‍‍
