About I CAN Child Care Inc. in Mount Vernon, NY
Our Story
Rooted in Love, Grown in Mount Vernon
I CAN Child Care Inc. was founded on a simple belief: every child arrives with unique gifts, and every child deserves a place that helps those gifts blossom. We've built a warm, home-like preschool in Mount Vernon, NY where children feel safe, loved, and eager to learn.
Director Keisha Millwood-Krouser leads our team with warmth, structure, and deep respect for every child's unique spark. Our small class sizes make sure no child gets lost — every one of them is seen, known, and celebrated.

Learning Philosophy
Play Is Serious Learning
Our curriculum is play-based because that's how young children learn best. Through songs, blocks, art, story time, and outdoor adventures, children build language, confidence, motor skills, and empathy.
We blend structured learning moments with free exploration, so children develop both readiness for Kindergarten and a lifelong love of discovery.
