The men and women who take care of the Thoroughbreds at Belmont Park, Saratoga Race Course and Aqueduct Racetrack often need assistance for daycare. Days at the stable for grooms can start as early as 4 a.m. and continue until after 8 p.m. The Belmont Child Care Association provides a safe and loving care center for equine workers' children and provides early education for the little ones whose parents work at New York racetracks.
BCCA is fortunate to have a dedicated team who work tirelessly to benefit the families of the backstretch.

Our Story
Report
The BCCA set about building a center, selecting a licensed child care provider, and spearheading fundraising to support the continued operation of the center. Anna House, the centerpiece of BCCA's efforts, was built in 2002 by Board Chairman Michael Dubb and named for the then two-year-old daughter of major donor Eugene Melnyk.
