Does the institution have an on-site child care facility, partner with a local facility, and/or provide subsidies or financial support to help meet the child care needs of students, faculty, and staff?:
A brief description of the child care program, policy, or practice:
NMSU has an on-site child care program at NMSU called "Myrna's Children's Village". It is a collaboration project with four funded programs sharing space as a lab school for the Early Childhood Teacher Education program in our College of Education. At any given time the majority of the users are the children of NMSU students. The Village serves approximately 150 children.
We receive funding from the following:
1) La Clinica de Familia: infant and toddler program through early Head Start. They fund 100% NMSU students based on financial need.
2) Dona Ana County Head Start: There are seven sites in our community and one is on NMSU main campus at Myrna’s Children’s Village.
3) NMSU School for Young Children: Directed by the College of Education and funded by the Associated Students of NMSU for NMSU students; serves 2-5 year olds; payment is on a sliding scale (some paying nothing); this is for full day child care.
4) New Mexico PreK: grant from NM Children Youth and Families: free half-day preschool; NMSU Residential Housing students get first choice for admittance into the program.
The programs at Children’s Village are so important to our Dean of the College of Education, he pays for an administrative assistant to support these programs.
