Family-friendly workshop focuses on selecting child care

Purdue Human Resources will host a family-friendly workshop on locating and evaluating child care from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday (May 13) in Stewart Center, Room 204. Registration is due Tuesday (May 12). Limited seats are available.

Human Resources is bringing in local experts to present a variety of workshops geared toward parents and caregivers. Workshops are open to parents or caregivers with all ages of children, but each topic is geared toward a specific age group.

The "Locating and Evaluating Child Care" workshop will explore what parents and caregivers need to look for in quality child care and school-age programs. The workshop, presented by Katherine Toro-Masso from the Childcare Resource Network, will provide information on how to find quality programs and what different types of programs are available in the community. On-site referrals will be available.

The family-friendly workshops are open to faculty, staff, students and spouses/same-sex domestic partners. Those attending are encouraged to bring lunch to eat while listening to the presentation. Time for asking questions and networking with other parents will be offered.
