Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, widely recognized as one of New York's premier human services providers, is a settlement house founded in 1894 that provides an extensive array of effective and integrated services-social, educational, health, housing, mental health, nutritional and fitness-which significantly improve the lives of nearly 16,000 people in need each year, ages 3 to 103, on the East Side of Manhattan. Our award-winning, nationally-renowned Early Childhood Center (ECC) is a model program and lab school for innovation designed to provide the best possible educational, developmental and social services to 147 very low-income preschoolers and their families-all eligible for Head Start-and to advance the field of early childhood education and development on a national level.
