A new childcare center opening in Escondido village next Tuesday will enroll 100 children, becoming the fourth center on campus to provide full time child care. The center will be managed by a non-profit, Children’s Creative Learning Centers (CCLC).

Stanford’s Board of Trustees approved plans last April for a second phase of child-care center development, which will add a $5.4 million center in 2010 to accommodate an additional 100 children.

Stanford provides as much as $5000 to some Stanford employees with children under 10 years old for childcare.

“There are other schools that subsidize only the people that get to get into their centers. This is more broad,” said Teresa Rasco, director of WorkLife Office, a division of Stanford Human Resources which oversees CCLC, to Stanford News Service. “The need is very big — not only at Stanford, but in the community. And that’s one reason why Stanford has taken on more centers, because the community is so impacted and finding childcare is difficult.”
