I’m very impressed with Inspire! Crayon Campus.
The entire staff is very welcoming and supportive. My son and I instantly felt at home. I know he’s in great hands – where he’ll be safe and cared for while having so much fun. Also, their facilities are clean and well-kept. I highly recommend this location to all looking for child care. We’re so lucky to have a spot. <3Nicole L.

“As first time parents my husband and I were very nervous about choosing the right daycare for our infant. We have been incredibly pleased with the care our daughter receives at Inspire Pittsford! The staff are so kind, truly care for all the children and are very respectful to the parents. Our daughter has thrived in the infant room and absolutely loves when she goes to daycare. We know we made the right choice with Inspire!”
