Early Childhood Services

Providing childcare for children 0-5 years old.

Each child receives hands-on learning in the areas of developing and improving their motor skills, level of literacy, path to successful socialization, health and social / emotional wellness. All children attending achieve a high attendance rate of 85% or higher and all meet next grade level success. We have a nutritionist, behavior health services, and a health advocate on-site to meet all our children and families’ needs.

EPK/UPK

The Early Pre-Kindergarten (EPK) and Universal Pre-Kindergarten programs are open to three- & four-year olds and follow the RCSD school calendar. Our programs are of high quality and meet all Educational Performance Standards, Social Emotional Pyramid Model practices and RCSD High Scope Curriculum. Each year, children who are enrolled in the Summer Leap Program participate in high quality curriculum in math, science, language and literacy at our center. They also learn how to swim, which helps build their confidence. Our Summer Leap Program was established after children from our center attended the first pilot program at Horizons at Harley.

All our programs participate in Raising a Reader with our local library, Sesame Neighborhood with WXXI, Ready to GROW and Rochester Area Parent Program with Children’s Institute. Ibero Early Childhood Services was recently recognized by the Mary Allen Institute Spotlight for our work with infant mental health.

“Being part of the Ibero program has been an amazing and scary experience. Coming from having an older child, who my mom took care of, to having my 5-month-old at Ibero was scary. Everyone at Ibero, all the way down to the teachers, makes me feel at ease and shows me how much my daughter loves them. All the help in my daughter’s development has been beautiful, and I feel safe knowing my child is in the right hands and I have no worries about leaving her at Ibero. If someone is considering being part of the program, I would tell them that I recommend and love the program. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 10, and I am constantly promoting Ibero.”

Get Ready to GROW provides free developmental checks and follow-up support for children ages one to five years.
