Children from the Centers and residents and clients from Park Ridge Long Term Care's facilities join together in year-round activities that emphasize the human values of caring, loving and remembering. Our professional staff have a background of education and experience that is conducive to quality early childhood programming. Each staff member has met New York State screening and reference requirements, and participates in ongoing education programs. We recognize the importance of parental involvement, communication and support. Entrance to Park Ridge Child Care Center begins with an orientation and visitation process.
Parents are welcome at any time and are encouraged to participate in our programs.
The staff works closely with each parent to ensure that the individual needs of each child and family are met. Parents are invited to join the Parent Steering Committee, which provides educational and social opportunities to our families. The Centers are licensed by the Department of Social Services and are inspected annually by the Monroe County Board of Health, Greece Fire Department and the New York State Department of Social Services. The Canal Ponds center accreditation process began in 1995. The Academy administers the only national, voluntary, professionally-sponsored accreditation for schools and child care centers.
