The community at Care-a-lot is so good to our children, I am dedicated to contributing in any way I can. We're [i.e., Parent Advisory Group] all in the enviable position to really make a difference in our child's environment (and make some new friends!).

| At every stage in our program your child’s needs are met in a caring and nurturing environment through the devotion and enthusiasm of our staff, the unwavering importance given to health and safety, the attention paid to your child's development and the amount of fun enjoyed by all. In the end, it all comes down to putting a smile on your child's face by providing an environment where everyone feels at home. |
|
| Infants (6 weeks to 18 months): |
 | Your baby is welcomed into a safe, comfortable and nurturing environment, with individual attention and care given to their individual needs. We even provide diapers for your baby to lighten your load! Our goal is to make your experience as carefree as possible, while we care for your baby in a warm, cozy and engaging environment. Basic American Sign Language and physical, sensory and social activities are encouraged as your baby grows. As parents often note, our staff “…gladly get down and play with the kids or give them a snuggle…” just like home. |
|
| Toddlers (18 months to 3 years): |
| As your little one learns to explore, we provide the mental and physical stimuli that will help them grow, while ensuring that their exploration occurs in healthy and safe surroundings. Your child will participate in supervised, small group activities they will be eager to tell you about. As they progress in age they will learn self-help skills that prepare them for our preschool program, while boosting self-confidence and self-esteem. |
|
| Preschoolers (3 to 5 years): |
| Our preschool program focuses on preparing your children for Kindergarten, whether at Care-a-lot or your corresponding school district. We build upon social and motor skills the child has, adding theme-based academic learning through play (the natural method in which children learn). Children are provided free expression in physical art and music. Art walls and other forms of displaying their creations are a key component to our environment. |
|
| Kindergartners (5 years): |
| Care-a-lot’s Henrietta center offers a full-day Kindergarten program that follows the New York State Department of Education as well as the Henrietta School District curriculum. The caring and enriching environment is designed to develop the social, emotional, physical, and mental growth of each child in preparation for first grade. |
|
| Before and After Schoolers (5 to 12 years): |
| Care-a-lot provides your school age children with the care and guidance they need before and after school, as well as during the summer. Children are encouraged to assist in planning their own activities. They are also welcome to use our secure computer facilities to enhance or continue their learning. During the summer, children enjoy special weekly events and field trips. |
