Originally named “Bouwerij,” an old Dutch word for farm, NYC’s Bowery neighborhood at its inception was nothing more than a simple lane that wound around Manhattan and extended to the upper reaches of the island to connect farmland and estates in the outskirts to the heart of the city in today’s Wall Street and Battery Park areas. Over the years, the Bowery evolved into a vibrant commercial center. A community. A place for the arts and entertainment, and a cultural vanguard whose resilience and diversity has come to define the essence of New York City.
 

Little Bouwerij is the online community developed by parents for parents of the youngest New Yorkers ​
to bring the best of NYC culture and resources right to your fingertips. We seek to promote growth, fun and community by bringing the most up-to-date information on daycares, preschools and more directly to you. Save time and access everything you need to know to raise young kids in the city – and have fun doing it!

We’re a family-founded site and we invite you to join us as we build our platform.
