皇冠登录入口 照顾孩子 Center was established in September 2004 by the 皇冠登录入口 campus community to provide quality and affordable child care to children 6-weeks to 5 years-old for 皇冠登录入口 students, 教师 和工作人员 members. This program also offered Head Start services to children in the 3-5 year-old program in partnership with Penquis Child Development. In June 2005, Penquis Child Development was awarded an RFP to operate the center.

Head Start eligible families of 皇冠登录入口 students, 教师, 和工作人员, have enrollment priority at the center. In the event that there is space available after meeting the EHS/HS enrollment the program is open to the general public.

The center works in conjunction with the 皇冠登录入口 Early Childhood Education Program, as well as other 皇冠登录入口 departments to offer a laboratory setting which exemplifies quality and appropriate practice for practicum students.
