The search for child care in Lawrence is fraught with waiting lists, high cost
Parents must shop around for day care; carefully consider individual facilities
By Doug Hesse Special to the Kansan
For Dawn Woolhouse, finding child care in Lawrence was a nightmare.

Linda Norden, Hilltop Child Development Center employee, holds Jillian Hay, 2, as she watches over other children during play-time. Hilltop, one of several child care options in Lawrence, offers child care for children aided one to 11
Woodhouse said finding good care for her two children was the hardest part of moving to Lawrence. She said she thought she would never find child care she could be satisfied with. But with a little searching she and her husband, David Woodhouse, a lawrence senior, found suitable care.
More than 15 places in Lawrence offer child care, but at an average cost of about $500 a month it can be an expensive reality.
all of KU's child care programs have waiting lists. Hilltop and the Edna Hill Child Development Center each have a waiting list of more than 100 children. Many private care centers offer smaller classes, and though national child-care chains may offer a slightly lower price, they might have bigger classes.
With the exception of Hilltop, campus-based child care programs operate as research and teaching labs. The department of human development and the Child Life-Span institute do research to determine how children learn and study interactions between children. This research is done only after signed consent by the parent or guardian, said Judith Scheff, office manager in the human development center. All campus child care centers are licensed by the health department.
The phone book provided Woodhouse with a list to start from, but the Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services, or SRS, also supplied her with a list. The SRS, 619 East Eighth St., can be a great help, Woodhouse said. SRS not only supplies names of people who provide child care but also helps finance child care in many cases. The SRS phone number is 832-3700.
SRS provides income-eligible daycare, which applies to parents who work or attend school and meet other guidelines, said Dolores Ortiz, child care specialist at SRS. All assistance from SRS must be for approved child care.
"We have a lot of services that can help parents find and use child care," Ortiz said.
Parents might also want to visit the care center unannounced to see what goes on when parents are not there, she said.
Woodhouse said that checking into a child care program before enrollment was very important. She said parents should be on the lookout for overcrowding and make sure the center was certified.
"It's the only way to know what's really going on," she said.
The environment for the child should be clean, and the caretakers should not overstep their boundaries, she added. She said to look out for abuse of any kind.
Some child care is reputable, she said, but warned parents to look at he options carefully.
Enroll continued from Page 1.
If a student is unable to enroll at this first chance, the next opportunity will be Aug. 19-20 at late enrollment. Second chance late enrollment takes place from Aug. 24 to 28 during the first full week of classes. The last week students can enroll without special permission is Aug. 31.Sept. 4. The last two digits of a student's KU ID determine late enrollment times, and those schedules are listed on pages 15 and 16 of the timetable.
If enrolled by Aug. 21, students who go through late enrollment will be required to pay fees by that date. To complete fee payment and secure enrollment, students must pick up registration forms from 1 to 4 p.m. at Fraser Hall. The student then needs to pick up a fee statement in the Big Eight Room on level five of the Kansas Union, and at that point will be able to pay fees in the Ballroom.
For students who do not enrol by Aug. 21, fee payment is from Sept. 1 to 11 in 4 Carnuth-O'Leary. a
ule for this fee payment is on page 20 of the Timetable.
Brenda Selman, assistant registrar, said that new students could take several steps to avoid most of the hassles that accompany enrollment and registration.
"The most important thing for those students is to read and be very familiar with the Timetable," she said. "Everything students need and want to know about getting enrolled is in that book."
Selman also said that students could eliminate frustration at
enrollment itself is carefully checking a list of closed classes posted on the wall around the corner from the enrollment center. Once students have determined what classes they won't be able to enroll in, Selman said it is important to include a "healthy list of alternatives" in addition to the desired schedule.
"By leaving the schedule open to alternates, students will be achieve much more flexibility," she said. "But listing alternates does not mean putting down different times for the same class."
