Tompkins-Cortland Community College was in need of a space that would provide much needed daycare option for their students with infants and young children. Having this option would allow more flexibility for parents who wanted to take classes and ensure that their children would be in a safe and stimulating environment. An added benefit is that this new facility gives students in the Early Childhood education program a greater chance to develop hands-on learning experience. The new building can house up to eighty (80) children.
