Tuition Express will be processed every Friday for the current week of care.

Questions Or Concerns?

Melanie Hartford, Parent

“I cannot say enough positives about Rochester Child Care Center. We transferred our children to RCCC from another center and if I could turn back time, I should have started my kids here from the get-go. Between both children, we’ve been through four different classrooms and sets of teachers, potty training, behavioral challenges, and meetings with teachers and directors. Throughout every step of the way, RCCC has gone above and beyond to support us and our children. Because RCCC operates more like a school than a typical child care center, there are so many more resources available for children and families. Ms. Caitlin literally saved our son and after having the absolute delight of teaming up with Ms. Joscelyn, he is now thriving in Kindergarten. I absolutely give Rochester Child Care Center a five star review and a 10/10 recommendation.”
