Children’s Aid Society at Frederick Douglass Children’s Center

The Frederick Douglass Children’s Center serves as a year-round hub of activity for children and families who live in and around the Frederick Douglass Houses. Opened in 1957 by The Children’s Aid Society and the New York City Housing Authority, the Center gives 500 children a day--from toddlers to young adults--a safe place to meet new friends, play, learn and grow. Services include: bi-lingual Head Start (ages 2-5), after school (ages 6-11), teen programs (ages 12-18), family fitness and healthy living programs, and linked medical, dental and mental health care for neighborhood children and families.
