Childcare Services to Surrounding Community Offered at ECEC

The Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) is pleased to
announce a change in the availability of childcare services
that will benefit both campus families and the surrounding
community. Effective immediately, when the waiting lists of
campus families are exhausted in any given age group, 5% of
the enrollment will open up to the community at large.
Implementing this change will allow ECEC to fulfill their
commitment of offering quality service at competitive prices
to the families of students, faculty, and staff. Maintaining
full capacity in all age groups is the most important factor
towards achievement of this commitment.

Tuition rates for members of the community will be higher than
those charged to campus families. A comparison between the
campus rates and community rates is shown below.

of 3 and 5. If you have any friends or relatives that might
be interested in this opportunity, please have them contact

be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The ECEC is dedicated to serving the childcare needs of the
campus'students, faculty and staff by providing a safe,
nurturing environment at affordable prices. By opening
enrollment on a limited, structured basis to the surrounding
community, the ECEC looks forward to providing the services
required by the families of the campus community well into
the future.
