Child Care

The Early Learning Center provides a program for the education and care of the young children of BCCC students, staff, and faculty. The center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and is a four star member of the voluntary Pennsylvania Keystone Stars early childhood quality assurance system.

Three programs are housed in the Center located behind Founders Hall: Toddler, Preschool, and Pre-Kindergarten. All children may attend from a minimum of two days a week, three hours a day, to a maximum of five days a week, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A $25 registration fee and a $2.50 insurance fee are charged for all children per semester. Toddlers ages 2 to 3, not necessarily toilet trained, are charged hourly with a maximum daily rate. Preschoolers and Pre-K children, ages 3 to 5, must be toilet trained and are charged hourly with a maximum daily rate. There is a discount for two or more children from the same family. Registration for classes must be completed before registration for child care. Child care registration is held at specific times on a firstcome, first-served basis.

Current registration dates are available on the web at www.bucks.edu/elc.

Drop-in care is available for pre-schoolers. For information, call 215-968-8180.
