Our gallery wall is coming together. We love it when our creative kiddos can put their personal stamp on The Storefront!

Thanks to the Hyde & Watson Foundation and Communityplaythings, we can now hang these masterpieces at the eye level of their artists!

It’s graduation season, and we’d like to celebrate our very own graduate: Program Director Sofie Diaman!

As if being a mom of two and leading The Storefront’s Program Team wasn’t enough, Sofie earned her master’s of social work from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. Join us in congratulating Sofie on her major accomplishment!

That’s a wrap on Big Note, Little Note! Our families received their certificates of participation to cap a joy-filled 10 weeks with our fabulous partner Carnegie Hall.

The program will return in the fall, so stay tuned for more information on how to participate. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to us with any questions at [email protected].

Can you spot all of the opportunities for healthy brain development in this photo?

1. Fine motor skills - The rings and the base are of varying sizes. This allows the child to practice gripping with their fingers in multiple ways.

2. Executive functioning skills - The stacking rings provide an open-ended exploration of cause and effect. Learning how their actions affect their environment enables children to develop the problem-solving skills necessary for everyday life.

3. Language development - The color, texture, and sound of the rings are all great things to describe and name. The more we use concrete language about the objects children interact with, the more they can connect those properties to spoken language.

4. Secure attachment - Positive back-and-forth interactions with a caregiver help children build trust and feel safe enough to explore, experience, and create.

Simple interactions pave the way for profound growth. What are your favorite simple ways to interact with your child?

Did you know that in its 60-year history, The Children’s Storefront has never charged for its programming?’ To say we’re proud to be a part of that legacy would be quite the understatement.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the recent Harlem Neighbor Swap such a success! Nearly 200 neighbors came to swap and shop, thanks to contributions from our Storefront community and beyond.

The Harlem Library, New York Public Library was a dream partner, and we can’t wait to collaborate with them in the future. We love our neighbors!

We’re only 1 day away from the Harlem Neighbor Swap with our wonderful partner (and neighbor) !

We are no longer accepting donations and will be delivering the last few items, including these adorable sneakers, to the library for the event on Saturday.

Join us on May 16 at the Harlem Library from 10:30-1 to shop a selection of children's clothing and shoes (newborn-age 5), toys and books, maternity and postpartum essentials, and household goods collected from the Storefront community, along with Items for all ages collected by the library.

Everything is 100% FREE and can be found on the 3rd floor in the Community Room.

Thank you to our generous sponsors and guests, our board, and our staff, who made Born and Raised: A Benefit for the Children’s Storefront a tremendous success! It was a true joy to reflect on the past and pave the way for the future.

We’d like to add a special thank-you to Orrick, whose generosity and partnership have been a major factor in The Storefront’s decades of service to children in Harlem and the families who raise them.

Take a look back at an evening of connection and community.

If you need some extra Monday motivation, let these focused kiddos from our last All-Stars session be your inspiration.
