About Early NYC
Early NYC provides high-quality SEIT services and Spanish classes for children across NYC, supporting early development through meaningful, play-based, and real-life learning experiences.
We take an individualized, relationship-driven approach—meeting each child where they are while thoughtfully supporting communication, learning, and emotional growth. Our work is rooted in evidence-based practices, cultural understanding, and genuine human connection.
Language development and early intervention are deeply interconnected, especially for neurodivergent children. Early NYC was intentionally built to bring Spanish instruction and SEIT services under one cohesive umbrella, allowing us to support the whole child, not just individual goals.
Early NYC delivers culturally responsive Spanish instruction and high-quality SEIT services, supporting the whole child through connection, expertise, and intentional care.

How We Got Started
Early NYC was created in New York City from a simple but powerful realization: children deserve high-quality support without losing their language, culture, or identity.
Early in my career, I worked with a Hispanic family raising two children, one of whom is on the autism spectrum. Although Spanish was the parents’ native language, English had become the primary language at home because most therapy providers were English speakers. This experience revealed how easily a family’s home language can fade when services don’t reflect their culture or lived experience.
Living and working in NYC, I saw this pattern repeatedly—along with a growing need for compassionate, high-quality services for neurodivergent children. At the same time, my background as a bilingual educator in Venezuela and my passion for working with neurodivergent children came together with clarity and purpose.
Early NYC began by offering Spanish sessions to children across New York City and quickly expanded to include SEIT services for the neurodivergent community. Rather than choosing one path, we created a broader umbrella, one that supports both language development and early intervention, recognizing how deeply connected these areas truly are.
Today, Early NYC provides Spanish sessions and SEIT services rooted in evidence-based practice, cultural understanding, and genuine human connection because children grow best when they feel understood, supported, and seen.
