Once a month the children have the opportunity to cook or otherwise prepare special food at school for a nutritious snack. The staff consists of a director, associate professor in Early Childhood Education, student teachers, student aids, and a custodian. The USAO Child Development Center does not permit children to visit who are not enrolled in the program. Requests for application made verbally to staff members cannot be honored. Parents agree to full participation in the program.
Parents agree to provide medical coverage for their child.
Names of children who are not accepted are left on the waiting list for a period of one year, at which time a letter of inquiry will be sent, asking if parents are still interested in the program. If unanswered, the application will be discarded. The child must be at least 2 years of age before making application. University faculty members and university students must make application in the same manner as other applicants. If the parents do not wish to accept enrollment in the Child Development Center when it is offered, the child's name is removed from the waiting list.
