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.

The College is one of 30 community colleges in the State University of New York, and offers degrees, certificates, and microcredentials in more than 40 academic programs including nursing, business administration, criminal justice, chemical dependency counseling, new media, sports management, culinary arts, sustainable farming and food systems, and liberal arts programs, including education and general studies. The College is known for constantly expanding the boundaries of what is possible for a community college: recent innovations include a restaurant, organic-practices farm, and 10-acre solar array powering campus.

Perhaps more importantly, the College is known for its commitment to academic rigor and for its equally passionate commitment to providing the community support students need to succeed. With thousands of graduates in the area and throughout the country, we mean it when we say Your Community. Your College.
