On-Campus
The Center For Young Children provides care for children (ages 3-Kindergarten) of faculty, staff and students. Due to limited space there is typically a waiting list for open spots. Currently the University offers no other child care services, but there are plans to create a center in the near future.
Off-Campus
Off-Campus Housing Services maintains a list of local day care centers (pdf) or check out some of the following local and national links for accredited child care:
» National Academy for the Education of Young Children (1-800-424-2460)
» National Association for Family Child Care (1-800-359-3817)
