We accept children ages two through five, year-round, according to the academic calendar. We also accept relatives (grandchildren, nieces, and nephews) of faculty and staff.
Children’s Center hours are from 7:45 am until 5:00 pm Monday through Friday during fall and spring semesters. During summer semester, we are open Monday through Thursday from 7:00 am until 6:00 pm.

For students, fees are assessed at the beginning of the semester at the rate of $23.56 per credit. Students are charged a fee per credit hour and a non-refundable supply fee. Fees are collected by the Business Office or through ProCare childcare management software. Employees are billed the first week of each month, and pay a daily fee of $10.79 per half day (up to five hours) and $17.43 per full day (5+ hours), as well as a non-refundable supply fee of $50 per semester.
