RESEARCH for Little Knights

Class,
Go to The Chronicle of Higher Education and search under "daycare for graduate students" and you may find more than very good 10 sources talking about the need and benefits of having such resource for students and faculty on campus.
Good luck.

La Powerpoint de TINY KNIGHTS (Little Knights)

Little Knights
A Proposal for a daycare center at the University of Central Florida by the Women’s Studies class of Dr. Santana


Initiative
We are the nation’s 3rd largest university forging ahead with new academic and social initiatives. This is a very exciting time for the UCF community. Currently, our university does not provide support for students, faculty, or staff with children under the age of two.

Students with children are faced with re-examining and adjusting their expectations of which colleges and universities they will attend based on the ability to offer accommodations and services for parents in need of daycare.



Mission
Support the dialogue on the needs of parents with children on our campus.
Provide affordable, nurturing, and adequate child care for children under two years.
Grant social, behavioral, and cognitive growth through this facility amongst the future community of UCF.


Benefits
Students:

Faculty:
“Universities are using child care centers as their major initiative to address gender-equity issues”-Marc Goulden, research analyst in graduate division University of California at Berkeley
Children:
Univeristy:



I. Background. Florida Universities with Child Care b. Creative School i. Why it rocks ii. Where it falls short
The University of Florida Baby Gator Child Development Centers offer high quality care to children ages 6 weeks to five years. Baby Gator addresses the needs of all children and fosters growth and early literacy skills.



The UCF Creative School for Children
The University of Central Florida is already familiar with childcare, as evidenced by our exceptional Creative School for Children, established in 1976.
For the past thirty years, the Creative School for Children has provided a safe, secure and happy place for children while students and staff are attending class, studying or working.



The UCF Creative School for Children
The school employs "early childhood professionals with 12-25 years experience." Provides a setting for other research departments at UCF.
The Creative School at UCF is one of the 9% of childcare centers accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
The UCF Creative School for Children only accepts children ages 2-5, and is open from 7:30am-5:30pm.



IV. Funding a. community partners (state the case for potential community partners/list of current ones) b. Grants c. Fee i. tuition fee for students ii. sliding scale fee breakdown



FEES
UCF fee increase of .25/100 for students, faculty .50-.75/100
