It's not easy returning to school. And it can be especially difficult for students with young children. There's little time and often little money. Sometimes you just need some quiet time or a chance to join a study group to prepare for your next big exam. Now more and more colleges are facilitating not just the study groups, but also the childcare needed to free your time.
Parents can coop childcare with each other.
If you're not in Iowa, talk to your advisor, dean of students, or other students to find out if there are similar services in your school. If not, you just might want to get some started.
