Childcare

Current ECDC CommitteeCommittee objectives:

1. Provide an overview of ECDC operations to foster a greater understanding within the Committee, allowing members to share information with their constituent groups.

2. Provide an avenue for Committee members to express needs from various constituent groups represented.

3. Serve as a conduit to bring additional considerations (shorter and longer term) to University leadership.

31

ECDC – ND Background• Early Childhood Development Center is located on east

side of campus next to library parking lot• Non-profit organization that is independent of Notre

Dame• Daycare for children age 2 through Kindergarten • Licensed by State of Indiana• Accredited by National Association for the Education of

Young Children (NAEYC)• Notre Dame location established in 1993

- Agreement with Notre Dame governs operation - Spirit of original agreement was that the Center be operated in

such a way that it would be “…afford{able} to all Notre Dame employees” – resulted in sliding scale tuition structure

(Note there is also Day Care at St Mary’s – established in 1971) 32

ECDC – ND Cost of Attendance

• Operations are cost effective

• Largest expense (salaries and benefits) is driven by licensing and accreditation

• ND subsidies offset tiered income structure

• Tuition rates were compared to other local Centers of similar quality and ECDC – ND tuition rates are comparable for hours of care provided

• Nationally, ECDC – ND tuition rates are reasonable compared to other campus-based, accredited programs

33

Access to ECDC-ND• ECDC - ND open to all Notre Dame faculty, staff and

students, alumni, CSC families

• Equality of access:• By lottery system - Lottery conducted by Dir. of ECDC • Top priority given equally to Notre Dame faculty, staff

and students• Sliding tuition scale

• 168 children total with a waitlist that varies from 69-84 in recent years (Currently 113)

• Wait lists have been relatively stable; higher this year, but continue, especially for two year old room

(Note: No preferential access for recruiting) 34

ECDC – ND Future Expansion Considerations • No current plans underway for expansion; was explored in

response to growing demand

•Licensing and accreditation requirements•Limit the size of classes•Determine student/teacher ratios•Determine qualifications of staff for facility

•Current ages served:•Demand is high at 2-year old level•Demand decreases with age

• Demand for kindergarten mostly met with current space due to local kindergarten availability

37

ECDC – ND Infant vs. Preschool Care

•Infant care prohibitively expensive for few spaces:•New facility would not meet projected demand•With facility the size of current ECDC footprint:

•Could serve approx. 56 children age infant to 2•16 total infants (max of 8 per room)

• More need met with facility for ages 2 to pre-K:•With facility the size of current ECDC footprint:

•Could serve approx. 100 children age 2 to pre-K•34 additional slots for 2 and 2/3 groups combined
