Our Story
This Little Light
Since 1999, Little Genius has been a home away from home for Flushing families. What began as a small family daycare for babies under twelve months — lovingly known as Hannah Christian Academy — has grown, by the grace of God, into a full-service childcare and after-school center in the heart of Queens. Through every milestone and every growing child, one mission has stayed the same: providing love and care to the children of immigrant families who trust us with their most precious gift. We believe today's little learners are tomorrow's brightest lights. That belief shapes everything we do — from the way we welcome each child in the morning to the way we prepare them for a lifetime of academic and creative success.
Our children will someday be the future lights of society. That belief drives everything we do. It is our highest priority to help our children be well equipped for academic and creative success.

Talk to Our TeamOur Philosophy
Learning as
an Adventure
We believe every child is born with gifts, talents, and wonder waiting to be discovered. Our role is to nurture that wonder — with structure, warmth, the highest standards of professional care, and a firm foundation of faith in Christ.
Every interaction begins with genuine affection. Children thrive when they feel secure, seen, and valued.
Our curriculum embeds language, math, and social skills into play — because joy is the best classroom.
We keep parents informed, involved, and supported — especially the immigrant families who entrust us with their greatest treasure.
Just as our children grow, so do we — expanding programs, improving facilities, and pursuing every accreditation that serves our community.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."— Proverbs 22:6

What Parents Say
"The staff here go above and beyond. You can tell that this is more than a job and they love doing what they do. They care for the kids as if it’s their own kids and my son always comes back telling me stories about his day and how much fun he has there. You can see the joy on his face and that is all due to the wonderful caring teachers. Another plus is that they serve him pretty hearty and healthy meals, you can’t beat that! If there are any parents looking for a daycare center in Flushing, I highly recommend this place!"
"As a new mom, I was so worried about finding a daycare for my daughter when it came time for me to return to work after my maternity leave. My husband and I visited multiple daycares in the area and none of them seemed right (some even felt like baby jail). Thankfully, our search ended after we visited Little Genius. We just knew that we found the perfect place - the hours are flexible, the price is fair, and they provide a warm and home-like environment where our daughter could grow. They also give regular updates and photos that give me piece of mind knowing that my daughter is in good hands. Speaking both Korean and English was the cherry on top! Two months in and we are still very satisfied with the level of care that they provide for our daughter."
"We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Little Genius.. we’ve seen such a big change in our son.. he went from having speech delay to talking non- stop.. our son was also not fully potty trained when he started, but Ms. Julie paid extra attention to his body language and with the help from her and us being consistent at home as well, he is now fully potty trained. We are saddened that they do not offer pre-k yet so we did send our son somewhere else. However, I can confidently say, Little Genius has spoiled us with the constant updates and the warmth we felt from all the teachers. We highly recommend Little Genius whether it’s daycare or for 3K."
