Dependable care for the hours families need most
EduCare Hub is a Brooklyn child care center for preschool to school-age children, founded and directed by Timieka Maloney.
How we see children
At EduCare Hub, children learn through STEAM projects, hands-on enrichment, and creative work. We commit to high-quality care that supports each child's physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. Every program is built around a safe setting that fits the age group it serves. Founder and director Timieka Maloney started the center so families would have dependable support, especially at hours when good care is hardest to find.
Days here include STEAM learning, hands-on enrichment, and creative development. Before the school day begins, children have early morning supervision with a trusted provider, a nutritious breakfast, and quiet rest or relaxation time to ease in. For children who arrive after school, we offer school pickup, a healthy snack, homework assistance, and enriching activities focused on social-emotional learning and sensory development. A nutritious dinner is provided daily, and transportation home is available depending on mileage.

What you notice in practice
Teachers work at eye level and follow the child's lead rather than rushing a group through a fixed plan. STEAM learning, hands-on enrichment, and creative development happen in small moments as well as planned ones. A trusted provider supervises the early morning, when the room is calm and the pace is slow. Nutritious breakfast fuels the learning that follows.
The morning room is set up for a gentle start: spaces for eating, for resting, and for engaging but calm activities. Children move through breakfast, quiet time, and preparation for school without being hurried. Then transportation from EduCare Hub to school gives the day a smooth beginning. Families can ask how the rooms are arranged for their child's age group.
How we work with families
By pickup, parents hear what their child did that day. A teacher might mention a block tower, a new word, or a snack eaten without help. Questions usually get answered at the door, and longer conversations can be scheduled. If something needs follow-up, the director knows the family by name and can talk it through. Ask at the desk about days, hours, and pickup times.
The first weeks of care are about settling in, and we plan for that. New children ease into the morning with quiet rest and relaxation time, alongside familiar faces and a steady routine. Breakfast, supervision, and transportation to school follow the same pattern each day, so children know what comes next. Parents can tell us what their child needs; the details are worked out with each family.
