A brief description of the child care program, policy, or practice:
Furman’s Child Development Center (CDC) provides early childhood education for children aged 3-6. The CDC, located on campus, offers tuition discounts for Furman employees. The mission of the Furman Child Development Center is to provide project based, hands-on early childhood education to the families of Furman University and the surrounding community in a safe and nurturing environment with highly qualified and passionate staff who model responsibility, respect, and empathy for others, realize that children learn in different ways and at different rates, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. During 2012, Furman reached a decision to add an infant and childcare for ages of new born to 3 years old. The design is completed and campus is in the fund raising process at this time.
