Our History

Coddington Road Community Center has been a fixture of Ithaca’s South Hill Community since 1949. Originally a one-room school house and later a meeting space for local gatherings, the center’s first childcare programs were opened in 1984.  This was due to the significant volunteer efforts of Shirley Brown, Anne Morrissette and many others in the community. Since that time, the center has grown to include a summer camp and an after school program.

Situated on 12 partially wooded acres, the charming and welcoming childcare building is enhanced by the beauty of its surroundings. The children at Coddington enjoy the benefits of both a caring and structured classroom and a connection to the natural environment around them.

Why Choose Us?

You will find a dedicated staff committed to providing quality programming for our community.  Whether your child attends an after school program daily or if your family occasionally attends one of our community celebrations, you can be sure that staff will be here to greet you with a smile.

We have developed the following vision to guide our future development.

Coddington Road Community Center is a community center for all ages. Our vision is to evolve with the changing needs of our community and to enhance social capital by extending our services beyond child care. We will provide networks that connect individuals, families, and neighbors, with opportunities to learn, develop and share skills.

We will achieve our vision by
• expanding our physical space;
• seeking collaborative opportunities with groups and organizations that further our mission;
• offering programs and activities that reflect the interests, health, and well-being of our community;
• utilizing our twelve acres of fields and woodlands as an integral part of our programing.

Through a dedicated focus on achieving these objectives and a commitment to our mission, we aim to become a keystone of the South Hill community.
