Pride & Joy Child Care Information

Pride & Joy was founded as a family-home daycare licensed for five children, in 1998 by Gina Harrington, a Rush Henrietta graduate who had already had an eight- year career, doing what she loved, in child care. After the birth of her daughter, Gina decided that she wanted to take everything she had learned working in professional daycare environments and combine it with all of the comforts of a supportive, home environment. This philosophy continues to define our program to this day. Today, most families are faced with the need to have two incomes to support their families. In order for parents to be able to do this they need to know that their children are being cared for in a warm, loving environment, where they can grow and thrive. The focus of the program then, as it is now, was to provide families with quality care for their child that is as comfortable and caring as it would be in their own home. With this in mind, Pride & Joy set out to create a program, which combines family comfort, along with the many benefits of an early-childhood educational program. This combination of family style and professional programming became instantly popular with families from Henrietta and in neighboring towns, creating an instant waiting list.
