Let's not forget our little ones! These kiddos took the stage and tapped their hearts out to “Good Ship Lollipop,” and let’s just say…the smiles were as sweet as the song!

Our kids tapped into something special last week with this incredible tap dance performance! Under the amazing guidance of dance teacher Jamie Sitera, they showed off their rhythm and lit up the room with their energy. Great work, dancers!

Over the winter break, these fantastic students from Hamilton College stayed on campus and helped our community. They cleaned and organized our classrooms, and even played sports with our school age children. What a wonderful group!

It's been a busy start to 2026...so busy that we forgot to share some final pictures from the 2025 holiday season!
Many thanks to the Kiwanis Club for the wonderful Christmas party. We are so appreciative of the support we received from them this holiday season.

The only thing better than Santa is Santa with therapy dogs!
Thank you so much to the Child Care Council for the wonderful party yesterday. Santa and the therapy dogs were a hit with the children and the staff!

Last night, our very own Jane Domingue was officially inducted into the Oneida County History Center's Hall of Fame as a Living Legend!

As our founder and Executive Director, Jane's leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication to our children and families has touched the lives of so many members of our community over the last 40 (!!!) years. In true Jane fashion, she used her moment in the spotlight to shine it on others, acknowledging her partner in crime, Sandy Wright, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and prompting a well-deserved standing ovation.

We couldn’t be more proud of this humble, kind, and truly incredible leader who somehow manages to do it all. Congrats, Jane. You truly are a legend.
