Learning Labs Initiative

a NEW program that will provide FREE child care options  for children K to 8th Grade on days when students who are enrolled in the BLENDED learning education model are scheduled for remote learning.

8:00AM – 3:00 pm

Learning Labs sites will be paired with DOE schools so that students will be placed with similar cohorts of students when utilizing the Blended Learning model.   Where placements are available, families will receive a letter from the DOE detailing their Learning Bridges site and next steps to enroll their child. Seats will continue to be added throughout the fall on a rolling basis.

The following schools will receive first priority for placement in the Kings Bay Y approved Learning Lab Sites (after completion of required survey above); the KBY Main Site at 3495 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11229, and our Annex Site at 3043 Avenue W, Brooklyn NY 11235. If your school is not listed below, please note that you may be assigned an alternative learning labs site.

*Placement for Learning Labs is not determined by the Kings Bay Y, and substitutions of site locations will not be permitted at the current time.*

• JHS 014  (3043 Avenue W, Annex Location)
• PS 52     (3043 Avenue W, Annex Location)
• PS 194   (3495 Nostrand Avenue Mainsite Location)
• PS 206  (3495 Nostrand Avenue Mainsite Location)
• PS 255  (3495 Nostrand Avenue Mainsite Location)
• PS 277  (3043 Avenue W, Annex Location)

Eligible families who are interested in accessing the emergency child care should express interest at the DOE portal: schools.nyc.gov/learningbridges to access this service.

For those families with students in schools not listed above, please note we are receiving updated placements on a recurring basis.  Additionally the Kings Bay Y in an effort to best serve the community has opened additional spaces in our Kings Bay Y Academy Program with more information to be found here
