LOCH SHELDRAKE – SUNY Sullivan has been awarded $1 million in state funding to support expansion of the college’s on-campus childcare center.
Operated in partnership with the Healthy Kids Early Child Learning Program, the on-campus center provides students, employees and members of the community with a preschool childcare program for children ages three to five during on-campus class hours.
The state funding will support renovations that will allow the college to expand the program to infants and toddlers.
“These funds will allow us to fill a much-needed gap in Sullivan County and ensure that more parents are able to attend college, obtain degrees, and expand their employment opportunities,” said College President Jay Quaintance. “Being able to provide access to infants and toddlers is a great step forward and also has the potential to allow us to expand educational opportunities for our students in our early childhood education programs.”
