In the fall, the KinderCare Center opened and became an ideal place for students, staff, faculty, as well as members of the community to take their children. Although the center was originally scheduled to open it's doors in January, business started early in mid-August. Director Sharyn Bowes said. “Enrollment increased as people on campus became aware of the early availability of the facility. Quality child care was a welcome addition to campus facilities. Amy Charron. a graphic designing student, had 3 month old Cielle enrolled at KinderCare. Charron said, The staff really knows what's happening with the kids. They give them lots of attention. The center offered child care for youngsters through age 4. Teachers focused on their assigned age groups: Infant I. Infant II. Toddlers. Three and Four year olds. When KinderCare opened, it also provided some college students with jobs and valuable work experience for future careers. Tammy Rich, junior in Early Childhood Education, began working with KinderCare over the summer. Working as a lead teacher with the toddlers provided a different atmosphere for Rich. She said. “It's a nice escape from the cut and dry college scene of classes, papers and exams. The new KinderCare proved to be advantageous for many. ■Gabriella Cosgraue Housekeeping In preparation for storytime.Lance and Lucas clean up their area after playing.
