Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a model for campus child care and a case study that demonstrates how the changing needs for campus child care can be accommodated by a responsive administrative structure. The ways in which these needs are met are effected by the historical context and the specific characteristics of the campus community and the professional community. Program practice is shown to be effected by campus politics, policy decisions that are responsive to campus needs and expectations, the program’s physical setting, elements of the program, and public relations. Various needs, such as infant, toddler, pre-school age, and school age care, as well as part time, full day, and evening care, can be met when the center and staff cooperate to meet local community conditions. Complimentary needs, such as research and referral, can be made part of the program when thorough planning is done and a clear policy is established. Coordinating the program to meet needs can be related with ongoing campus research and teaching. As needs change over time, the center can adapt to serve the evolving community.
