Child Care Program
SLCC helps bridge the gap to higher education by providing on-campus child care services that support student parents as they pursue their academic goals.
To meet the growing need for quality child care for our students and community, SLCC is raising funds to support child care vouchers as well as new playground equipment and supplies for each of the three child care centers. While donations to Child Care Services cannot be designated to a specific campus or cause, funds will be directed to the area of greatest need.
SLCC currently operates the Eccles Lab School at Taylorsville Redwood Campus, the Jordan Campus Child Care Center, and the Tim and Brenda Huval Child Care Center at South City Campus.
Bridging the Gap to Higher Education
SLCC is committed to supporting the success of its students in every way possible. One of our students' most significant challenges is access to affordable child care. The child care program provides financial aid to low-income students who need help covering the cost of child care.
“We believe that every student who wants to pursue higher education should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of their financial situation or personal responsibilities. Unfortunately, the cost of child care can be a significant barrier for many of our students, particularly those struggling to make ends meet,” said Holly Garcia, director of Child Care and Family Services at SLCC.
By donating to the SLCC child care program, you can support students working hard to achieve their educational goals while raising a family. Your donation will go directly toward vouchers, which eligible students can use to pay for child care at licensed providers in the community, including SLCC’s three child care locations at our Taylorsville Redwood, South City, and Jordan campuses.
Your generosity can make an incredible difference in the lives of our students and their families. With your support, we can ensure every student has access to the resources they need to succeed in college and beyond. Whether you are a former student, a community member, or a business owner, your contribution can change lives and build a stronger, more equitable community. Thank you for your support!
