Description: EduKids Early Childhood Centers have been the leaders and innovators in childcare and kindergarten readiness programming in Western New York since 1989. We opened our first early childhood center in Orchard Park, New York in September of that year after founder Nancy Ware searched extensively for a high quality, educationally focused child care program for her own son. Disappointed at the poor quality and limited programs available to families in WNY, Mrs. Ware envisioned opening an outstanding facility with an experienced and loving staff; a place where families would truly feel they were bringing their children to a home away from home. Today, her original vision and mission remain at the heart and soul of every EduKids Center. The finest facility, the very best staff! EduKids partners with our families to provide: a safe, loving and high interest environment, activities and curriculums that are developmentally appropriate and the skills and confidence to become an eager, lifetime learner! Educators from all over Western New York tell us again and again how well prepared EduKids children are for the school experience!
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.

| Brief Description: The written medical statement from the health care provider must also state whether the child is a child with special health care needs and, if so, what special provisions, if any, will be necessary in order for the child to participate in child day care. When the written statement from the health care provider advises the day care program that the child being enrolled is a child with special health care needs, the day care program must work together with the parent and the child's health care provider to develop a reasonable health care plan for the child while the child is in the child day care program. The health care plan for the child must also address how the day care program will obtain or develop any additional competencies that the staff will need to have in order to carry out the health care plan for the child. | |||
