Just for Kids was honored to receive the Child Care Business Award from the Child Care Resource Network at the 2026 Springtime in the City Child Care Professionals Appreciation Dinner! Our Executive Director, Kristina Kleeh, accepted the award on behalf of the organization. Her leadership, dedication, compassion, and commitment to providing high-quality, enriching, and safe school-age programs for the youth of Western New York help guide everything we do.

“This award is given to an organization or individual in a school-age or center based program who has a mission and vision to provide high-quality care and education to all children. By running an exceptional business and exhibiting outstanding organizational skills, this child care program or professional has thrived in the area of business navigation.”

This recognition reflects the collective effort of our entire Just for Kids team. Every staff member plays an important role in creating a caring, enriching environment for the children and families we serve. Together, we make a true difference!
