Child Care

Tompkins Cortland Community College offers child care services in two centers on campus, The Arthur Kuckes Childcare Center and the FSA Childcare Center. Both are licensed, not-for-profit child care facilities providing services to children of college students, faculty, staff and as space permits, members of the community. The Centers provides care from six weeks through pre-kindergarten. Students have first priority, and a sliding fee scale is offered to students to help with the cost of child care. The Centers also participate in the DSS Childcare Subsidy program. The Centers are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. with before- and after-care available for an additional fee 7:30 - 8 a.m. and 4 - 5 p.m.
