Description: Albany Med Kids provides high quality child care for Albany Medical Center employees, our affiliates, and members of our community. We’ve been providing a warm, nurturing and educational environment for young children for more than 25 years. Our year-round daily child care program serves children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, while a separate summer camp learning program is available for children ages 5-9. Each of our large, bright classrooms is individually designed to accommodate the program expectations for each age group.
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.
