Cornell Child Care Center
(607) 255-1010, 150 Pleasant Grove Road, Ithaca, NY 14850
Cornell University offers a unique, high quality child care program on
campus to serve Cornell's diverse families. The center is managed by Bright
Horizons Family Solutions, which runs more than 600 employer-sponsored
centers in the United States, Europe, and Canada and is chaired by its
founder Linda Mason CU '76.
Informed by the research of early childhood experts, the approach is child-
and play-centered, tailored to the needs of individual children at their
own developmental level, and includes attention to social connection,
physical movement, music, art, and language. The center invites family
involvement, fosters the building of community, and fosters respect for
each unique family. Goals include both creating a positive and nurturing
environment for children and improving the work/life navigation for Cornell
students, staff, and faculty.
The center, opened in the Fall of 2008, has space for 158 children (48
infants, 50 toddlers, and 60 preschool children), ages 6 weeks to 5 years.
It is located on Pleasant Grove Road in the village of Cayuga Heights,
just north of the university's "A" parking lot. This single
facility helps meet the university's child care needs and increases child
care options of Cornell faculty, staff, and students.
