First Learning, a trusted leader in high-quality early care and education, with 13 centers in the Rochester area, is proud to announce the acquisition of the Kiddie Academy of Webster.
Effective August 15th, 2025, these centers will join the First Learning family and be re-branded as Care-a-lot of Webster, signaling a new chapter of excellence and care for families in the Webster area.
“Expanding to Webster allows us to bring our vision for early childhood education to even more families,” said David Kolczynski, President & CEO of First Learning. “Our goal is to preserve the trusted relationships families have built here while introducing new opportunities, resources, and experiences that will enrich every child’s early learning journey."
A Seamless Transition with Investments in Quality
Drawing on several years of experience successfully integrating child care centers, First Learning is committed to making this transition as seamless as possible. Families can expect continuity of care from the trusted staff they already know, complemented by investments in the centers aimed at enhancing the overall experience for children, parents, and employees.
“Within the first few months, families will see significant improvements in the facilities and programs,” said Michelle Ellis, Executive Director of Operations. “These enhancements will reflect our commitment to professionalism, accountability, trust, excellence, and fun—values that guide everything we do.”
“We are thrilled to welcome the Kiddie Academy community into the First Learning family,” said Jeanie Harris, Executive Director of Programs. “We look forward to getting to know each family and working alongside the trusted staff to continue the great work they are doing with children and families.”
Community Impact and Commitment
This expansion further underscores First Learning’s dedication to enriching communities and supporting families. By aligning with First Learning’s mission and values, Care-a-lot of Webster will offer an elevated level of care and education that prioritizes both excellence and community impact.
