Day Care Debate
On-site childcare facility needed

The assignment was to work for a social change at TCU, a local, state or national level.

The result could be the 22-year-overdue establishment of an on-campus childcare facility for TCU faculty, staff and students.

The students began their endeavor as part of their General Practice with Community class project to make the childcare needs of those in the TCU community known.

There are no answers about why the last attempt to establish on-site childcare failed — not from administrators, not from those involved in the process and not from the Faculty Senate with whom the effort ultimately ended.

It doesn’t matter.

On-site childcare is needed and deserved. It’s now up to the students, faculty and staff to support this proposition so that this time, it will not be overlooked, but made available to all.
