We created this comprehensive daycare information center to help families in Greece and across the Greater Rochester area make confident childcare decisions, with clear, helpful answers about enrollment, daily care, meals, safety, parent communication, policies, and school-age care.
We welcome children from approximately 3 months through age 12, subject to the age range and capacity authorized by the program’s current New York State license. Age-appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and care are provided based on each child’s developmental stage.
We are conveniently located in Greece, New York (close to I-390/Latta Road), providing a safe, welcoming, home-based childcare environment for families throughout Greece, Rochester, Gates, Hilton, Irondequoit, Spencerport, and nearby communities.

If your child will not need care immediately, you may request a future enrollment date, depending on availability. We recommend contacting us as early as possible, especially if you need care during a specific time of year.

Every child should arrive with the items needed for a comfortable day.
Depending on your child’s age, this may include
Families of infants must provide labeled bottles, formula or expressed breast milk, feeding supplies, and current feeding instructions. If a child requires parent-provided food because of an allergy, dietary restriction, or medical need, those labeled items should also be brought as arranged with Jenny. A complete checklist will be provided before the child’s first day.

Start dates depend on:
Any enrollment-related fee, if applicable, will be disclosed in writing before enrollment and must comply with the payment rules that apply to the family’s child care arrangement. No fee should be assumed from this website summary.

Families are encouraged to keep goodbyes calm and consistent and may provide an approved comfort item when appropriate.
Jenny will communicate with the family if questions or concerns arise.

Maintaining a clean, healthy environment is one of our highest priorities.

Minor injuries will receive appropriate first aid, and parents will be informed according to the nature of the incident.

The safety and well-being of every child is always our highest priority.

Jenny has a small dog in her home, but the dog is kept separate from the children during daycare hours.
