Our Story: Family Wisdom, Growing Brilliance, Open Hearts

Founded in 2005 by Ingrid Myers, a single Brooklyn mom of two, Winifred's 24 Hour Childcare carries the name and nurturing spirit of its founder's beloved grandmother. Born from the real need for truly reliable, family-like care, Winifred’s has been a beacon of support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year – because we know families thrive around the clock. We treat every child and parent as cherished kin, earning us our special nickname: the Winifriends.

Guided by our wise elephant mascot (symbolizing strength, memory, and family bonds!), we nurture bright futures. We weave early literacy and hands-on STEM exploration into joyful daily discovery, sparking the curiosity and critical thinking that have helped many of our graduates flourish in NYC's Gifted & Talented programs. At Winifred’s, we’re more than childcare; we’re a warm, supportive community dedicated to showing every child the incredible value and joy of learning. Come discover the Winifriends difference!

Welcome to the Herd at Winifred's!

With love and commitment,
Ingrid Myers & TheWinifriends Team
