How Do I Enroll My Child?

All children who attend Mary Cariola have a developmental delay and may also have other diagnoses, including autism, mental or behavioral disorders, cerebral palsy, or prenatal exposure to drugs. All children enrolled at Mary Cariola must be referred by a third party.
  • Your county of residence approves placement for children from birth to two years old
  • Your home school district must place children from three to 21 years of age

If you have referral questions, call 585-271-0761.
  • Ask for the Preschool Director if you’re calling about children from birth to four years old
  • Ask for the supervising social worker if you’re calling about children from
    ages 5–21

Tuition for students is paid either by the county or the school district.
