Bunny Bunch Day Care

What Bunny Bunch Day Care does

Bunny Bunch Day Care is a family-owned childcare and early childhood education provider operating three physical centers in Western New York (Niagara Falls Blvd, North Tonawanda on Ward Rd, and the Townline Rd headquarters in Wheatfield). Founded in 1998 by Jim and Geniene Goranites in their family home, the company serves children from six weeks through twelve years of age across six programs: Infants, Toddlers, Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4 / Universal Pre-K, School Age, and a supplementary Distance Learning Program. The business holds New York State Office of Children & Family Services licensure and is an approved Universal Pre-K provider for both the Starpoint Central School District and the Niagara Wheatfield Central School District.

The core service is delivered in-person at the three centers, with operational technology limited to a computer-based sign-in and tracking system for child attendance and security, plus the third-party MyProCare platform for online tuition payments. There are no proprietary software platforms or AI-driven capabilities; curriculum is teacher-led with stated emphasis on socialization, self-help skills, and kindergarten readiness. The teaching staff are CPR and First Aid certified and receive ongoing professional development.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition fees from families, supplemented by state-funded Universal Pre-K reimbursement via the school district partnerships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is provided on request via phone or contact form. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer through the three owned centers, with marketing reliant on the company website, an active Facebook page, Google reviews, and word-of-mouth referrals from existing families. Successor leadership is in place with the founders' two daughters serving as directors overseeing curriculum and location operations, alongside a son-in-law managing accounts, supplies, and maintenance.
