Meet Our Center Director

My name is Anniina Macaluso. I am the Center Director at Harbor Child Care at the RXR Plaza. I have been working for Harbor Child Care for almost ten years. I have over 16 years of experience in the early childhood field. I have worked with children of all ages before I became an administrator. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood at Empire State College.

As the director, my goal is to ensure a healthy, safe, and fun environment where children and families enjoy the support from teachers who implement an educationally rich setting that will foster and promote a lifetime of learning.

Preparing Our Children for Kindergarten

The pre-kindergarten program at Harbor Child Care provides a supportive environment for all students. Our teacher-to-student ratio enables us to focus on the needs of each child within a carefully planned curriculum. Harbor Child Care employs The Creative Curriculum®, which is a widely known and respected research-based curriculum with clearly defined educational objectives. Every day is a learning adventure in our pre-kindergarten classrooms where children are encouraged and taught to become independent thinkers. Harbor Child Care addresses all the key areas of learning through play and focuses on challenging children appropriately through their developmental ages and stages. Educational programming becomes more structured and offers children an opportunity to maximize their ability to succeed.

The daily schedule provides a consistent structure to the day, allowing for the development of routines and rituals. However, it permits the flexibility and openness to follow children’s interest and address their needs. The curriculum encourages and supports a balance of free choice and teacher-guided activities and allows time for small and large group activities. Learning through play offers children hands-on experiences to develop problem-solving skills, social skills, and creative expression. Math, technology, science, and art components are strongly emphasized and incorporated throughout the day through fun learning activities.
