Our Family Day Care, 221 Jefferson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11216, US

Founded in 1989, The Rose F. Kennedy Family Center is a four-storey brownstone that provides transitional housing and daycare services for pregnant women and women with young children who are homeless. The center is a part of Brooklyn Child and Family Services and funded by the Department of Health & Human Services Administration for Children and Families. Each floor of the building accommodates four young women and their children with one room, including a kitchen and living room that they share. Although meager, the quarters have a lived-in, sunny feel, while children's toys are stacked away neatly in each corner. And despite its total 14 residents under one roof, the building is quiet and clean. The daycare on the first floor is a part of the Early Head Start Program that serves up to 21 children-- a mix between shelter residents and children from the community.
