Our History
1975 - The Onondaga County Child Care Council was founded as a result of a grassroots campaign aimed at establishing an independent, community-based, not-for-profit organization to coordinate and support child care in Onondaga County.
1976 - The Council opened its doors in downtown Syracuse with a staff of three, led by Executive Director, Mary Lou Rubenstein. The new organization provided coordination and support for child care services through community education, provider training programs, advocacy, and referral services for parents.
