Description: We are a family oriented child care center providing quality service at a reasonable price. Individual needs of each child are identified and staff work closely to assist in the child's development. This is an area that sets us apart from other child care providers.
We are fully licensed by NYS and undergo frequent inspections by the Office of Family and Children Services. In addition safety inspections are completed by this agency and the Village of Depew to ensure a safe environment for the children and staff.
Staff are all qualified to provide care and instruction to the children. Lead teachers have degrees in early childhood education and/or are certified to serve in this role.They are certified in CPR and First Aid. Staff also frequently participate in additional in-service education. A registered nurse also visits the center at least weekly and reviews health records of staff and children.
Our meals and snacks are provided by Cater Tots and are in compliance with the Child and Adult Care Food Program. They are nutritional and tasty! Food is evaluated and meals the children prefer are requested more often.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

5 ++++ stars! Helping Hands is a wonderful center - my grandson loves Ms Gwyen - she goes above and beyond for the children. Ms Gwyen is such a great mentor for my grandson - she takes the time each day to help him get started with his homework and if he has a problem she works it out with him. I am so glad I found Ms Gwyen she has totally put my mind at ease when my grandson is there. He only goes before and after school now - I don't know which he like better School or Helping Hands but that is a good "I don't know" feeling! Ms Efie is also another one of his favorites and Ms Mary and..... Kudos to Helping Hands!
