Registration is open for the 2027–28 school year
Gan Shirly @ 33 Downtown — warm, licensed childcare in the heart of Monsey, for babies through age 4.
Welcome
B'h, I am excited to open registration for the 2027–28 year at 33 Downtown.
To me, safety and a loving environment are everything; while children absorb so much at this age, warmth is what they need most. I am here for any concerns or feedback, and I look forward to keeping in touch throughout the enrollment process.
