Our mission
Future Prints Childcare is a dual language program that provides top quality care and education to children ages 6 weeks to 7 years old.
Each child will be part of a happy, healthy and learning environment, while being immersed in the spanish language.
Exceeding all New York state and local guidelines of Health and Safety is one of our top priorities. We are a group family daycare who provides not only a child care service but also a family nurturing setting that will help our little ones achieve their key milestones.
Our flexible curriculum gives each child the opportunity to build their individual strengths and talents, while allowing them to learn new skills and expand their development.
We provide enriching opportunities every day for our children to reach their full potential socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and cognitively within a learning environment.
Our Director
As a Washington Heights native; I am very proud to share my programs with our community and New York City!
At an early age, I babysat and tutored family members and neighbors. As a youth, I was an active member of my community and participated in many hours of community service.
Being part of different organizations gave me the opportunity to have wonderful mentors.
I possess a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences from Stony Brook University. While at Stony Brook I was a peer educator, promoting healthier choices in the college environment.
As a former Columbia University Medical Center employee. I worked as an administrative assistant, I knew I had a bigger purpose which I wanted to share as an educator and a resource with children and their families.
After attending countless hours of training in child care and obtaining my Child Development Credential (CDA), I am now pursuing a Masters in Early Education at Bank Street College of Education.
As a graduate student, I plan to implement a progressive learning environment at all Future Prints programs.

Most recently, White-Godfrey secured space at P.S. 4, where the group served 350 children with 50 classes a week just before the pandemic.
