CLOSING: The Oneonta Head Start center on River Street will remain closed until Tuesday, January 19, 2021. This closing is in response to the Oneonta City School District moving to remote learning due to an uptick in community and district COVID-19 cases, required quarantines, and an attempt to limit exposure.
