Child centers teach CSUF's 'small' students
Almost 100 pre-school children come to
the CSUF campus daily, nol as visitors,
but as students themselves. These are the
children of the university's students,
faculty and staff members, and they are a
few of the lucky.
In order for their children to be allowed
to attend one of the three child care cen¬
ters on campus, parents must prove need.
Parents must also be patient: The wait¬
ing list is made up of more than 100 fami¬
lies per semester, according to the pro¬
gram's director, Valerie Kuczler.
"First priority goes to parents who are
students with low incomes," said Kuczler.
Other child care centers are far too expen¬
sive for most students, she said. Her own
children attend a different care center in
The center's fees are based on the pai
ent's incomes: They are asked to pay whs
they can afford. For:
nothing at al'
day they would be asked to fjay is J9,
according to Kuczler.
At the rJenter, children are given break¬
fast, lunch and a snack, personal attention
and fostering for intellectual, physical,
• social and menial health.
The program is not rim solely on par¬
ent's fees, but is financially assisted by the
California State Department of Educa¬
tion and CSUF's Associated Student
Senate.
The center is also convenient for parents.
But what's more, the kids like it. "It's
fun," insisted five-year-old Craig, who
was running races and teasing some girls
who were making "pancakes" from sand.
When asked what he liked the best, he
promptly replied, "Coloring!"
There is one center for infants and
toddlers, located just north of Baker Hall,
and Iwo for pre-school children, like Craig,
in Art-Home Ec and adjoining the Inter-
Religious Center. "The waiting list "for
infants and toddlers is considerably
longer," said Kuczler, adding that by the-
time the child's name comes up, he may be
too old for that program.
The child.'staff ration is about 8 to I,
although student volunteers regularly help
out. "We also try lo involve the university
compiunity in everything we can," Kuczler
This includes bringing the children to
puppet shows and other special activities
on'campus, and just being taken for
walks, either hand-in-hand or in shopping
carts on nice days.
CSUF students are welcome to help out
or just observe the children, added
Kuczler. "All they have to do is come to
(the Baker Hall site) or call first."
