Safe Space at St. Paul and St. Andrew Church, Upper West Side

At St. Paul and St. Andrew Church, we participate in "Miracle Mondays," a weekly event offering practical and legal assistance, clothing distribution, and other services to the community. Our maestras lead engaging activities for young children, providing a safe space while parents attend to other tasks.

We are also launching our own structured program at the church, held twice a week in the mornings. This program will involve more direct participation from parents and will offer consistent, enriching activities for children in the community.

Safe Space at Magna Hotel

In cooperation with Practice of Peace

Our safe space at Magna Hotel is run by experienced ESI staff members, offering early childhood activities that support both children and their parents. The space is designed for families, with parents actively participating in all activities alongside their children. This program creates a nurturing environment, helping families through challenging times.

Safe Space at the West Farms Hotel, Bronx

This program serves the residents of the shelter twice a week in the shelter's cafeteria, which our team transforms each morning into a warm, welcoming play space. With carpets, toys for free play, and tables set up for arts and crafts, we create a safe and engaging environment for children to explore and connect.
