Project CARE Child Care Sites
Project CARE is a program through Read to Succeed Buffalo that aims to infuse language and literacy primarily into home-based child care centers in our Literacy Zone. The goal is simple: help children get ready to succeed in school. We currently have 14 home-based child care provider and one group child care provider participating in the program.
Initially funded through a grant from the Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation, the 
program is now funded through a grant from the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County.
The program is a unique collaboration between six Read to Succeed Buffalo coalition members, including the Child Care Resource Network, United Way-Success By 6, Every Person Influences Children (EPIC), WNED-TV, Literacy Volunteers of Buffalo and Erie County and The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library.
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.
The following child care providers are currently part of Project CARE:
