PAINTED POST, N.Y. ( WETM ) — A new expansion to the Corning Children’s Center is set to open in September and will give more families in the Corning area access to childcare.

According to a release from the Corning Children’s Center, the new expansion at Corning Children’s Center West at 111 Canada Road in Painted Post is planned to open on Sept. 4.

The new expansion has significant renovations and upgrades to the facility, with the opening happening after the building occupancy approval and subsequent state licensing approval.
