Variety Child Learning Center was founded in 1966 by Judith Simon Bloch. Variety is a not-for-profit school that is chartered by the New York State Board of Regents and regulated by the New York State Education Department (SED), Department of Health (DOH) and the Office of Children and Family (OCFS).

Ms. Bloch began the school based on three important principles:

• Early Identification
• Early Intervention
• Parent Involvement

More than 50 years later, these remain the cornerstones of Variety’s programs.
