Operating as a lab school through the Department of Behavioral Sciences, the Child Center offers quality preschool education and care to children of students, faculty, and staff of Purdue Calumet, and also to children in the community. The Center is open all year excluding University holidays and two weeks prior to the fall semester. Children who are at least three years old and toilet trained through kindergarten age can stay for blocks of time or all day at a reasonable cost. The Child Center also offers an evening care program for children whose ages are three to 12 years. Unscheduled care for enrolled children is available on a limited basis.
All child care requires advanced enrollment.
The Center can accommodate groups as large as 400 and as small as 10. All rooms are equipped with overhead projectors, LCD projectors, screens, a VCR and monitor, sound system, and dry erase boards. Video conferencing services are available as well. There also is access to modems to facilitate checking e-mail, sending faxes and keeping connected with places of business. An after hour hors d'oeuvres reception can provide great networking opportunities for conference participants.
