As the number of campus child care centers increases to meet the needs of a growing and diverse student and faculty population, many college campuses are struggling to recruit and retain faculty and staff. There are currently about 2,500 campus child care centers, and almost 35% are managed by an academic unit of the university, with another 30% managed by Student Affairs programs. The 223 respondents to a survey by the National Coalition for Campus Children's Centers reported serving a total of 19,266 children. Ninety-two percent reported that they provides child care for student families; 83% provided care for children of faculty and staff. Most child care centers began as laboratories for college students, often education students specializing in early childhood education. Today, 46% of the surveyed centers maintain a dual focus, serving parents and serving as a laboratory site for students. In 1998, Congress passed the Campus Child Care Supplement to the Higher Education Act to assist low-income students enrolled in postsecondary education. This program continues to be funded, and will play a part in the increase in the development of child care on college campuses. (Contains 12 references.) (SLD)
