Signage Up At New Christofer Bear Day Care On 5th Avenue, Which Is Accepting Applications For Summer

Signs have popped up in the windows of 511 5th Avenue, where we recently learned a new day care would replace a clothing and shoe store that closed in November, announcing that Christofer Bear Advanced Early Learning Center is the name of the new space.

According to its website, the preschool space will be for children ages 2-5, with a full-day program from 8:30am-4:30pm plus optional extended hours available.

The center is led by Christofer Cassuto, who, according to his bio on the site, has a Masters degree in early childhood education from St. John’s University, and has been working in education as an assistant teacher, lead teacher, and educational director and program director of early childhood facilities in the New York City area for the past six years.

They’re already registering kids for programs starting this summer, as well as for the 2015-16 school year. Tuition for the summer program, depending on how many days and hours your child attends, runs from $2,200 to $3,500; for the school year, prices are from $14,000 to $20,000.

For more information or to apply, contact the center at 917-566-3285 or christoferbearinfo@gmail.com.
