Healthy Kids Programs

"I am so relieved to have found Healthy Kids! Both of my children have been cared for at Healthy Kids. My daughter began daycare at 3 and son at 1. They are always happy when they get home and run to hug their friends when they arrive. I receive updates through the Brightwheel app throughout the day with pictures. The teachers engage the children with sensory play, music, reading, and outdoor games. The facility is very clean and materials are new. It’s a great relief to know my babies are being cared for when I leave for the day. My daughter is now 5 and has returned for summer camp and school holidays. She’s always happy to back to her “old” school :) if you are looking for a reliable, safe, engaging childcare center that is open flexible hours you have found it with Healthy Kids. Contact their registration department and schedule a tour, they will show you around and answer any questions you may have."

"We were forced to used healthy kids this year when our school district (OCS) switched programs. So far my kids have been left outside of the building with no way to get in, they canceled the program because of snow at the last minute after my children had already been placed on a bus heading to the program. Their idea of structured activities is turning a movie on and playing on their phones. If I had any other option I would use it."

"I absolutely love the Healthy Kids Program in Prattsburgh. Our daughter loves it just as much. She gets so excited every morning to go. The girls there are great with the kids too!"

"Poor staffing quality & retention (repeated turnover of leadership/staff of which parents are never updated/informed). Poor communication with participating school district and parents regarding cancelations/policies. Program is canceled at every conceivable opportunity (school half days, early dismissals, staff days, snow days, even last-minute weather-related cancellations of after-school sports/clubs). No implementation of enrichment activities advertised (fitness, STEAM, academic, etc.). Poor follow-through of check-in/out procedures in Brightwheel app. Young, inexperienced staff on cellphones, raising voices at children, airing staff drama within earshot of parents at pick-up. Poor role models. My child hates it. Actively seeking alternatives with no luck."

"Healthy Kids is an AMAZING PROGRAM. My 4 year old has been attending the Early Learning Center in New Windsor full time for 2 years now and my 8 year old is in her second year attending the after school program at Little Britain Elementary. The Staff members are great with communication, my children LOVE attending and hate being picked up. They have both made so many new friends, acquired new interests and skills and come home happy everyday!"
