Where It All Began

O'Neill Home Day Care was founded over 15 years ago with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a place where children could thrive in an environment that feels just like home, while receiving the highest quality early childhood education and care.

What started as a small home-based childcare program has grown into a trusted community institution, serving over 100 families throughout Rochester. Our success stems from our unwavering commitment to treating every child as if they were our own, fostering an atmosphere of warmth, security, and endless possibilities.

Today, we continue to honor our founding principles while embracing innovative educational approaches that support each child's unique developmental journey. Every day, we're honored to be a part of your family's story.
