Child care center benefits others
Students, parents and researchers—as well as children—benefit from a child care center developed by the human development and family life department, says Carolyn Thomson, assistant director of the center.
The Edna A. Hill Child Development Laboratory "tries to help children develop socially, personally and physically," Thomson said Tuesday.
The laboratory, which consists of two child care centers, was designed to provide teaching experience and research material as well as child care. Thomson said.
"STUDENTS GET the experience they need for their teaching certificate," she said, "and researchers are able to obtain information needed to find effective ways to help children acquire skills that they will need later on in life."
Thomson said parents were helped by the service because it was "designed to help the parent that is going to school. It enables the student to study or study on a regular basis to do so."
The part-time service, in its second year,
operates from 12:30 to 5 p. m. Monday
through Friday. The center accepts
children from 18 months to five years. The
child must attend at least two a week and
have two hours each visit. The fee is
$1 an hour.
"WE TRY TO help parents who need a
little extra assistance in raising their child." Thomson said.
A full-time day care center, open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, also is available. Children from ages two and one-half of five are accepted at the center, which has been in operation three years. The fee is based on a daily sliding scale from $4 to $6, depending upon the parents' financial status.

THE CHILD care centers are designed to help children with preschool skills, such as learning to concentrate and to relate to other children other than their parents, she said.
"We are equipped not to just babysit, but to help in the development of the child," she said.
Construction on campus has caused few troubles
Except for an occasional jackhammer drowning out part of a professor's lecture, few problems seem to have arisen from all the construction on campus.
Nor have the students caused the construction workers any problems, Harold Blitch, supervisor of grounds and land-scanning, said Friday.
the construction workers and that the area inside the fences temporarily belonged to them. The workers can use this area to store their materials and equipment, he said.
"The students are generally cooperative," Bilch said. "The fences put up around the construction sites help to out of the way of the construction workers."
Blitch said that the fences were put up by
There are three major construction projects on campus--Spencer Museum, west of the Kansas Union; the new law school building, east of Jayhawker Towers; and the new visual arts facility, south of Marvin Hall.
