The Co-op is a student organization providing affordable, high quality childcare for the Rhode Island College community through cooperative participation of parents.
Cooperative childcare provides many benefits to both parents and their children.
Parents are involved with their children and have greater control of the kind and quality of care their children receive. Parents who are students, faculty or staff of RIC are eligible to participate. Children must be 3 years old at the start of the fall semester and be toilet-trained. Children who are in kindergarten are enrolled half-time. All other children are considered full-time regardless of the number of hours the child attends.
