Drop-In Childcare
The Drop-In Center provides support to student-parents/guardians for children between the ages of 3-12 years old, while they attend on-campus classes and/or participate in on-campus events during the Center’s hours of operation. Bathroom independence is required. To use the child care services, children must be fully enrolled in the Central Drop-In Child Care Center program, which includes submission of all enrollment forms and Health Assessment Records. The Drop-In Center child care support services are provided to current Central enrolled student-parents/guardians at no additional cost. Central faculty and staff are welcome to register for child care support for an additional fee.
Once registered, the student-parent/guardian is required to provide a copy of their current class schedule at the time of enrollment, at the beginning of each semester and following the last day of add/drop. Student-parents/guardians are required to inform the Drop-In Center of any schedule changes taking place after the add/drop date. If a student-parent/guardian is attending an on-campus event, (i.e. scheduled event, study session, meetings with university faculty or staff) the student-parent/guardian is required to inform the Center staff of their on-campus location at the time of drop-off.
All Parents/Guardians are required to remain on campus while using the Drop-In Center Child Care support services. Leaving campus terminates your Drop-In Center support privileges.
