Find a family day care home that has been approved for infant care by the State. Day care facilities for children over 18 months and under 6 years include licensed day care homes, day care centers and nursery schools. These facilities vary considerably in cost and quality. We strongly urge that you visit these facilities and talk to parents whose children are enrolled. Sometimes, one day care situation may be just right for one child but not for another.
Some school districts provide child care before and after school hours.
Usually you can expect supervised activities at these schools. The bibliography includes several books and videos that can help you evaluate the child care options available to you. These books and videos are available for loan from the Office of Child and Family Resources. Work and Family Workshops Throughout the year the Child Care Office sponsors noon-hour workshops that address a variety of family concerns for all faculty, staff and spouses. These workshops, conducted in an informal setting, are led by experts in their field.
