Description:
This practice provides subsidized evening childcare to support the
educational goals and needs of special population students,
particularly single parents, and economically disadvantaged
students. Single parents and economically disadvantaged students
seeking to upgrade their skills and knowledge can obtain free
childcare for children age 6-12 during the evening hours through the
College’s Evening School-Age Program. The program, which is open to
all student parents, sets the fee according to parent needs. The
availability of the service is made known through community
partnerships and events, publications, the college web site, and
networking. It is funded through VTEA and other grants by various
campus departments, the Associated Student Body, and CalWORKs.
