Aiken Village Preschool now open for evening child care
Aiken Village Preschool now is open for evening child care for children ages 3-7 of students, faculty and staff.
A professional staff member and two student assistants welcome up to 10 children Monday-Thursday with a hot meal and play activities. Child care is available on a flexible entry time until 9:30 p.m. and parents pay only for the night the service is used.
Parents who wish to enroll in the program may telephone 325-3909 to request an application, or may stop at Aiken Village Preschool, Wallace Circle, Building 20, to pick up a form.
The application must be accompanied by the child’s Form 121 immunization record, Social Security card, and other items specified in the application. The fees for the program are assessed on a sliding scale, based on income and family size.
In addition, student parents may contact the preschool for information on enrolling a child (ages 3-5) in the preschool/Child Care Access Means Parents In School program. The CCAMPIS grant is funded by the U.S. Department of Education. MSU is one of only 116 institutions to be awarded funding for 2005-09 through the competitive grant program.
Aiken Village Preschool has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children since 2003.
