  • Cultural Arts Program

    For Ages 5 – 17

    To bridge the child care gap for eligible members who work weekends, we can cover the costs for full-day Saturday classes for your children during the school year.

    Classes typically offer dance, music, theater, arts and crafts, martial arts, SAT preparation, tutoring and much more. There are just two requirements: You must use one of the contracted child care providers, and there is a $100 co-payment.

    View Child Care Providers

    If you find a weekend provider who is not one of our contracted providers, you may be eligible for the Cultural Arts Stipend Program. If all provider criteria are met, you may be reimbursed for the partial or total cost of the program up to a maximum of $1,200.

    To qualify for the Cultural Arts Stipend Program, you must find a provider who:

    • Has a tax identification number
    • Has operated an established arts, recreational or educational institution for more than two years
    • Offers age-appropriate arts, recreational or educational programs to children ages five through 17, and
    • Has established course descriptions and a fee schedule.

  • Day Care & After School Programs

    For Ages 0 – 12

    The Future of America Learning Center (FALC) was developed to provide full-day, affordable, high-quality, and educational child care services to the children of working 1199SEIU parents and to those from neighboring communities. FALC was established in 1993 and is located in the Fordham section of Bronx, New York. It has been the standard practice of the 1199SEIU/Employer Child Care Corporation to open its door to everyone in the community where FALC is located.

    FALC is licensed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). FALC’s pedagogy includes content focused on The Arts and STEAM; the research-based assessment tools, such as Work Sampling System; Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA) for Children’s Resiliency which involves the family in the observation and rating of their child’s behavior and relationships.

    FALC currently serves as a host school within The Learning Partners Program of the NYC Department of Education (NYCDOE) which seeks to “build the capacity of host schools to share their strong practices with other schools and to continue strengthening their own practices, support partner schools in learning systems, structures, and strategies to strengthen particular areas of practice, and strengthen system-wide knowledge sharing about strong practices in order to improve student outcomes.”

  • New York City Honors Teacher from the 1199SEIU Future of America Learning Center

    New York City Honors Teacher from the 1199SEIU Future of America Learning Center

    On June 6, the New York City Department of Education honored Nila Johnson, a Pre-Kindergarten lead teacher at the 1199SEIU Future of America Learning Center (FALC), with a 2016 Big Apple Award. The Big Apple Awards program celebrates New York City educators who inspire students, model effective teaching and improve their school communities.

    The 2016 Big Apple Award recipients were chosen from a pool of more than 4,600 nominations that represent a diversity of grade levels, subject areas and each of the five New York City boroughs. In addition to continuing their work in the classroom, these educators will serve as Big Apple Fellows during the 2016-17 school year. They will also serve on the New York City Schools Chancellor’s Teacher Advisory Group, which meets monthly to discuss citywide education policy, share teaching practices and receive training in leadership development.

    Presenting Johnson with the award at FALC, New York City Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña said, “I am happy to congratulate Nila Johnson because she is making an impact at FALC, and I celebrate her with this well-deserved recognition.” 1199SEIU Child Care Funds (CCF) Executive Director Vivian Fox, CCF Chief of Staff Rossmery Dais and FALC’s Chief Operating Officer Bonnie Lou Mallonga were also on hand to celebrate Johnson’s achievement. Mallonga, who nominated Johnson for the award, said, “Nila has shown major prowess as a leader and facilitator of meaningful learning experiences. She has shown leadership and commitment to the Center, to the children and to the families served.”

    For more information on FALC or any of the programs offered by the 1199SEIU/Employer Child Care Corporation and the 1199SEIU Child Care Funds, visit our Child Care Fund pages or call (212) 564-2220.
