Where curiosity meets kindness ♡

At The Blue Hippo Daycare, we believe that raising kind, curious, and confident little humans is just as important as preparing them for school.

Located in the heart of Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, our home-based program offers a warm, safe, and joy-filled environment for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old—and up to 19 years old for those with special needs.

Rooted in Montessori philosophy and powered by STEM-based play, our program blends emotional growth with intellectual discovery. From problem-solving activities to grace and courtesy lessons, every moment here is designed to build character, spark creativity, and nurture lifelong learners.

Montessori
Inspired Learning

Our curriculum fosters independence, curiosity, and hands-on discovery. Children explore at their own pace using thoughtfully curated materials that spark creativity, critical thinking, and joy.

Character Comes First

We prioritize empathy, manners, and emotional intelligence. Kids at Blue Hippo learn how to be kind, cooperative, and confident to be socially and emotionally equipped for life.

Home-Cooked
Meals Included

Every day, children enjoy a healthy breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack—made in-house and approved by picky little taste buds (and USDA guidelines).

Flexible Scheduling & Pick-up / Drop-off

We offer full-time, part-time, and drop-in care. We also offer transportation within a reasonable distance of our location in Cypress Hills. Ask us if your home is in our service zone!
