Posted: Wednesday, November 20, 2013Year of the Teacher Weekly Feature: Child Care Center
The Buffalo State Child Care Center is a nonprofit child care center located on the Buffalo State campus.
Funded through parent fees, Buffalo State, SUNY, USG, and the Family Benefits Committee, the center provides quality, affordable child care for the families of students, faculty, and staff of the college, as well as families of other New York State employees and community members.
The philosophy of the child care center is to view each child as a unique individual with unique social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs. Dedicated staff members provide developmentally appropriate programs that focus on the process of learning and help children enjoy successful experiences in a physical environment that is safe, clean, healthful, and oriented to children. Classrooms are arranged to offer challenging play and learning choices at a range of developmental levels. Learning centers allow children the opportunity to explore, to experience, and most importantly, to succeed.
Teachers at the child care center receive training, professional development, resources, and freedom to create a unique and creativity-building learning experience for children and mutual respect between parents and center staff.
The center is open Monday through Friday and offers two infant programs (6 weeks to 18 months), a junior toddler program (18 months to 2 years), a senior toddler program (2 to 3 years.), a 3-year-old program, a 4-year-old program, and a summer school–age program for children up to 12 years of age.
