Brittany MeehanNov 10, 2024If your child has the same opportunity to go here like mine does, you are beyond lucky and beyond blessed. This school is absolutely incredible on every level. We are so greatful for the many positive changes we've seen in our son Eli since him going here. The level of love and appreciation we have for a starting place is beyond words. We can't thank you all enough for all you do!!!!

What kind of child care is A Starting Place?

What ages does A Starting Place care for?

Which school district is A Starting Place in?

Does this page show inspection results for A Starting Place?
- No. New York's public child care roster carries no violation or inspection fields, and no separate statewide dataset of them was found, so nothing here reflects A Starting Place's inspection history either way. Look the provider up in the OCFS child care search to read its violations and whether they were corrected.
