Linda Carrejo was appointed by
the ASI as liaison to the three cam¬
pus children centers. She said her
job is to provide information to the
sentate on the status of the daycare
centers.
Her new title added periodic re¬
ports to the senate to her list of du¬
ties at the center which she said ca¬
ters to low income mothers who
would not otherwise be able to at¬
tend college without childcare pro¬
grams like CSUPs.
Carrejo explained some of the re¬
quirements she and others watch for
when reviewing applications for on-
campus child care.
,-"All kids have to be up to date on
Immunizations and student-parents
must carry at least 12 units," she
said. There are currently two sites—
one on-campus and.another off-cam¬
pus. The requirements are the same
Carrejo said there is a one and a
half to two-year waiting list for ail
three centers.
Some or the changes Carrejo
wants to see in the coming year in¬
clude a dental hygiene program for
the children. She said she would
like to have them brush their teeth
once a day at the center.
Carrejo said she would also like
to help stabilize the staff at the cen¬
ters. She said having staff members
for longer periods of time would
improve the security at the centers
and give the children a sense of sta¬
bility.
CSUF students interested in hav¬
ing their children in the daycare
program need to begin the applica¬
tion procedure as soon as possible.
If you have questions about campus
childcare, call 278-2652 Monday
through Friday between 8 a.m. and
2 p.m.
