The Richard M. Guon Child Care Center at MCC was built in 1991 to care for the children of MCC students, faculty, staff and children from the Rochester community. The center is licensed for 96 children ranging in age from 8 weeks to 5 years old. Four classrooms serve infants and toddlers (capacity for 36) and four classrooms serve three and four year old children (capacity for 60) including our partnership with the Rochester City School District EPK and UPK programs and a partnership with the Rush-Henrietta School District UPK program. The center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) recognizing the center’s commitment to best practices in early care and education.
Our mission is to promote the academic and/or career endeavors of our families by providing high quality child care in a nurturing, secure environment, which is developmentally stimulating. Parents can attend class, study and work without worrying about their children’s well-being.
The Child Care Center is a department of the MCC Association, Inc. and has ties to the Departments of Human Services, Education and Psychology at MCC. We serve as a demonstration site for academic departments on the MCC campus and the greater Rochester community, and as a benchmark for quality early care and education in our community.
