  • Zuly G.

    CHILDCARE ASSISTANT

    Hi, my name is Zuly and I am one of the assistants at Tiny Hearts Childcare. I’m proud to be part of a group that is super caring for kids in the community.

    Being the 2nd oldest of a handful of siblings, I know how important it is to care for and tend to the needs of kids, especially toddlers. Also, having spent much of my life in The Bronx, it feels nice to connect with those who may very well have similar experiences as I have. The Belmont section of The Bronx is a unique place, and knowing I am contributing to my community through this private daycare brings me much gratification. Hope to meet you soon :-)

  • Marcia T.

    CHILDCARE ASSISTANT

    Hello, my name is Marcia. For more than 20 years I have been working with children from as young as 6 months to 14 years old. I have worked in various schools, church daycare centres, a nursery, and 24 hour home daycares throughout my career.

    Working with youth is one of my greatest passions, as it allows me the opportunity to create a positive impact on the lives of young people. As a grandmother, I understand how important it is for a parent to know their child is secure and safe in a childcare program. That said, I am confident that when you enroll your child in our Tiny Hearts program, you would be satisfied. Here, your child will experience social interactions with other bright children, be a part of various learning activities, as well as have much fun.

    I look forward to meeting you and your family!

  • Andrew G.

    ADMINISTRATIVE

    Hey all, my name is Andrew. I focus on administrative support so that Lucy and the team can put 100% of their efforts into the care and development of each child.

    As a father myself, on top of working to create a better life for your family, I understand how difficult it is to find the best home daycare near me. While you’re out working to provide, the number one concern is that your child is in good hands and whose mind is being challenged through a variety of different educational programs and activities. That is the main reason why Tiny Hearts Childcare was started. We want to be one less worry for the community by providing a safe place where parents know they can drop off their child and are confident not only that they are safe but are being properly prepared for the next chapters in their scholastic career.

  • Paul G.

    ADMINISTRATIVE

    Hey folks, my name is Paul. My role here is primarily administrative, and my job is to provide Lucy and our team with all the tools needed to ensure our kids have a safe & pleasant learning experience. I graduated from Baruch College with a Bachelors in Arts & Sciences. Since then I have played roles in a variety of organizations small & large, which have equipped me to lead better today.

    Operating an affordable in-home Daycare Center has been a goal of mine since a teenager. I always understood the importance of contributing to our local communities and its children. Our children will always determine the quality of the future!
