About Us
Early learning and child care have become an area of concern and priority for many in our community. In 2022, the Oneida County Childcare Coalition (OCCC) was formed and is comprised of individuals representing employers, providers, parents, local government, and nonprofit organizations. This task force grew out of Grow North’s Oneida County Dream Up! Child Care Supply-Building Grant Program.
This coalition has been established to raise awareness on the current state of childcare in our county, interconnect the network of services available within our county for parents and childcare facilities and advocate for the childcare industry.
