The full-time fees
include lunch, a morning and afternoon snack. State licensing requires that
all children in attendance during the lunch hour are served lunch, provided
by a caterer or center-based kitchen approved by the State Board of Health.
Sodexho, located on USI campus is the vendor for the Children's Center,
providing lunches. By law, parents may not send homemade food or opened
containers of prepared food for children to eat at the center.
All parents are required to sign
a contract of scheduled hours of child's attendance, but may coordinate
contract changes with the center coordinator at any time.
Other Information:
Parents are responsible
for contracted child care fees, regardless of child's attendance. The
weekly fee is prorated if the days the University is closed affect the
child's attendance.
The contracted child care fee will not be enforced for students and faculty
when classes are not in session, unless these clients choose to enroll their
child/children during the class recesses.
In the
event that a child is not picked up by closing, a late fee of .20 per minute
per child will be charged for the first 10 minutes, and $1.00 per minute per
child for each additional minute thereafter. Parents of children who are not
not picked up at or before 5:00 p.m. will be assessed a late fee.
The center is closed the following days/dates: Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the following Friday;
and Winter Recess, to be announced (Winter Recess occurs during the
Christmas/New Year holiday season). The center does not provide child
care services on the Thursday and Friday in August before the start of fall
semester classes, in order to facilitate staff training and new student
worker orientation.
Half-day USI Preschool:
A half-day MWF; TTh or M-F preschool
program is available for children ages 3-6 years, during the academic school
year. You may call the center to visit and/or pre-enroll for the 2009-2010
