Los Medanos College Child Study Center

The Child Development Department at Los Medanos College (LMC) runs a Child Study Center that serves as both a learning laboratory for Child Development majors and also as a childcare center for LMC students, faculty, and staff. Childcare services are available for children from birth to 5 years of age. Services are also open to community families as space allows.

Because the Child Study Center is a teaching and learning lab, parents who enroll their children in the childcare program will be required to enroll in a parent education seminar (CHDEV 22) for two hours per week. This course also includes participation in the childcare center as a parent volunteer one and one-half hours per week. College units will be awarded to those completing the course.

The highest priority for enrollment in the childcare program will go to full-time student-parents who are continuing their education from semester to semester. Other students will be accommodated with priority given to those enrolled for the greatest number of units. Childcare is scheduled by program.
