Description: Butterfly Kisses Childcare is a privately owned, NYS certified childcare center that strives to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in which children have a place to grow and learn at their own pace. We offer child care for children six weeks through school-age, as well as a preschool program for ages three and four. We also offer a structured after-school program for children five through ten. We focus on providing each family the personal attention needed to be confident in their choice of child care. Butterfly Kisses Childcare’s program and curriculum goals center around the development of social, physical, emotional and intellectual skills in each and every child. Children are exposed to music, art, reading, creative play and educational activities each day.
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.

When we first started sending our son here, we were super impressed with this daycare! They have a detailed and competitive curriculum. It appears after changes were made with office staff (a staff member left and was never replaced), there was a decline in organization and communication overall. Upon communicating the belief that my son was given an ingredient he was allergic to for the entire time he had been attending, I was told several times that they would never make such an error. Months later, they admitted to the error only in person and advised they were unaware of the nature of the allergy (that they believe it to be an insensitivity that they still never adhered to) as the means of covering up the situation. Upon the proper notice given that he would be attending a different daycare, we were treated rudely and unprofessionally. On my son's last day, I arrived to a pile of his belongings in the hallway and no one would speak to me.
