MARIE C- BOLTZ UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES RM.306 LINDERMAN LIBRARY NO.030 FIRST-CLASS MAIL U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 230 Bethlehem: Pa. 18015 Vol. 3, Issue 4 Campus Day Care Seen Likely By '90-91 By Robert W. Fisher A survey has found a significant need for child care among faculty and staff", and the co-chair of Lehigh's task force on day care says an on-campus center may be in operation by next fall. "There's no doubt in my mind that there will be a day care center at Lehigh," says Gail Vollman, a coordinator in transportation services, who has helped lead the group that has studied the day care issue since March. The task force has set a goal of having a day care facility operating by September, 1990. A campus location has been identified as a possible site for the day care center and may be announced as early as next month. Vollman said the university will contract for an outside provider to run the center, and the question of whether Lehigh will subsidize the cost of day care remains open. The day care task force was formed as an offshoot of the conditions of employment study group of the Presidential Commission on Women. The group surveyed faculty, professional and support staff, and student need for day care services in May. Response to the survey was "overwhelming." Vollman said. Sixty-five faculty members. 130 support staff. 111 professional staff and 54 undergraduates responded to the survey. Respondents indicated a need for 109 children to be in day care on a full-time basis over the next three years, and 121 on a part-time basis. Vollman said. The survey found that faculty and staff members currently using day care services pay an average of $60 to $75 per week. The averages include those that have children in day care full- and part-time. Full-time day care in the Lehigh Valley averages $80 to $100 per week, Vollman said. The survey found that most employees would like to see a day care center in a campus building, with the Packer campus the choice of most employees, followed by Mountaintop and Goodman campuses, she said. Vollman attributes the preference for an on-campus location to the belief that the university would ensure that quality care is provided. Many employees feel "it's important to have a place that we can call our own," she said. With the surveys-tabulated, the task force is turning its attention to reviewing the potential site for compliance with safety codes, according to Vollman. Once that step is completed, the group will be able to determine how many children can be accommodated. "We don't plan to have a center big enough to serve everyone," Vollman said. "We want to get it established, and let it grow as needed." Once the site is finalized, the task force will solicit proposals from day care providers, she said. Vollman said the day care center should be a help to Lehigh's efforts to attract and keep top employees. "We are finding that more and more institutions and businesses have day care on site and use it as a recruiting tool," she said. Lafayette College currently operates a campus day care center, and Muhlenberg College is investigating a similar center, she said.
