Project CARE Child Care Sites

Project CARE is a program through Read to Succeed Buffalo that aims to infuse language and literacy into home-based child care centers in our Literacy Zone. The goal is simple: help children get ready to succeed in school.

Funded through a $400,000 grant from the Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation, the program is a unique collaboration between five Read to Succeed Buffalo coalition members, including the Child Care Resource Network, United Way-Success By 6, Every Person Influences Children (EPIC), WNED-TV and Literacy Volunteers of Buffalo and Erie County.

Project CARE childcare providers are New York State certified and are focused on providing children a literacy rich environment to prepare children to begin school.
