After School

 In collaboration with community stakeholders, OCO After School provides youth of Oswego County with experiential learning opportunities that encourage the development of 21st century skills, in a safe and welcoming environment.

Community Schools

A community school is a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources that allows the school to become the center of the community open to everyone through extended hours. Improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities are a result of an integrated approach that focuses on academics, health and social services, youth and community development and community engagement. 

Discovery Learning Center

is a licensed center offering quality child care for children ages 12 months to 5 years. Staff utilize a research-based curriculum focused on language & literacy, creative representation, music, movement, logic & mathematics, and social development. Children enjoy active learning, or the “hands-on” approach, implemented in all of the classrooms!

Head Start

provides a quality prekindergarten program for three and four year old children.  School readiness is the primary goal of Head Start and is accomplished with Early Education Teachers implementing a research-based curriculum. Family engagement, health, and nutrition are integral parts of the services offered to children and families.  Head Start serves all nine school districts with locations in Fulton, Oswego, Phoenix, and West Monroe.

Literacy Volunteers

Unfortunately, OCO’s Literacy Volunteer program has not been refunded through New York State Department of Education. OCO applied through Adult Literacy Education in a state-wide competition and was not awarded. Literacy Volunteers has officially closed as of 8/1/25.

Thank you to the dedicated Volunteer Tutors and ambitious Students that made the program successful.
