We sometimes have spaces for others after enrollment is complete. Because the Center runs on the campus academic year, it is not always the best option for non-students: it's closed for campus observed holidays, and enrollment is four times a year. Once your child is accepted, we'll do our best to provide continuous care each semester. If your schedule is flexible and you're not looking for full time care, we're often a good match for your needs.

What are the fees?

*May apply to staff families if funds are available.
*Paid upon each semester of enrollment.

Is there financial aid available?
The Children's Center offers state subsidized child care. Subsidy applications are available at the CSUF Children's Center and can be picked up when an enrollment application is filled out.

How long is the waiting list?
Because the Center offers a flexible hourly scheduled program, there is not a standard waiting list. Rather, we take names and information and keep them on our waiting list by date of inquiry. This date is entered on each specific term application that you submit. We then prioritize the applications by the waiting list dates. Returning parents have priority, and then we enroll new children in the remaining spaces. The days and times that you request will be a determining factor in being admitted.

Why do applications have to be turned in every term?
Parents' needs for child care change as their class schedules change. Applications are needed each and every semester that a parent is requesting child care. Waiting list names remain active for two years, reserving your place in line for child care.
