Eladia’s Story

In 1980 Ms Eladia saw an urgent need for quality childcare in her Brooklyn community. As a working mother of four and a long-time Park Slope resident she decided to create an informal playgroup which blossomed into Eladia’s Kids. Now a family-run operation with over 40+ years of experience, Eladia’s Kids continues to build upon its founder’s commitment of transforming early childhood education using her unique method of working with children allowing them to be fully functioning, responsible human beings with a love for learning and contribution.

Eladia Causil-Rodriguez, Founder and Owner

Born, raised, and educated in Colombia, SA Eladia moved to NYC in 1969. “Children under our care learn how to express themselves, work successfully in groups, overcome challenges and naturally question and explore the world around them while achieving academic excellence. The kind of stimulation that our children experience makes their primary journey through school unforgettable, exciting and fun. Every child is a book. Each chapter is fascinating – filled with mystery and surprise. We are here just to help them turn the pages.”
