In more than 40 years of continuous and exemplary public service, Friends of Crown Heights has been a leading provider of high-quality child care and early childhood education services in the City of New York. Founded amid the progressive social transformations of the mid-1970s, FOCH was one of the first such multicultural community-based organizations established in the predominantly working-class neighborhoods of Central Brooklyn. Today, the organization is New York’s largest and most comprehensive provider of subsidized child care and early childhood education; we are also a contracted provider of Universal Pre-K, 3-K, and After-school programs in 20 full-service centers serving children and families in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island. FOCH also administers the highly popular Summer in the City program for children aged 5 to 12 years old, as well as the critical Child and Adult Care Food Program – CACFP --  a nutrition education and meal reimbursement program helping providers serve nutritious and safely prepared meals and snacks to children in licensed daycare settings. At Friends of Crown Heights, we are committed to fostering the healthy development of every child in our care.
