Special to the Chronicle The University of Waâ€" terloo will offer a new serâ€" vice to student parents this fall: shortâ€"term care for their children. The main béeneficiaries are expected to be mothers interested in taking courses at the university but who are otherwise unable to do so because they can‘t find anyone to look after their children during the daytime. Now they will be able to leave children in the ‘"Dropâ€" in Day Care Centre‘"‘ on the campus while they attend lectures, visit the library, or perhaps even just take a swim in the university pool. ‘‘The service will only be available to students. and _ University will babysit kids only when they are involved in some activity on campus,"" says Isobel Mackâ€" ay, assistant dean of women and the person who initiated the new centre. ‘‘Shopping, or attendance at a down, town movie, will not norâ€" mally be considered valid reason for using this serâ€" ble to both partâ€"time and fullâ€"time students, though the latter could not use it as a regular day care service.

Marie Goulet of the Early Childâ€" hood Education Centre will run the Dropâ€"in Child Care Centre alongside it. â€"_ *‘The dropâ€"in centre will only handle children for an hour or two at a time," exâ€" plains Ms. Mackay. She says the centre will make it possible for a mother to attend, for exâ€" ample, a regular 9:30 a.m. lecture Mondays, Wednesâ€" days and Fridays. *‘*We believe a good many women in the community would dearly love to take a course this way but simply can‘t make suitable arranâ€" gements for their children," sh says. ‘‘The new dropin centre should help them get around this particular probâ€" She feels the UW dropâ€"in centre will prove more than just a baby minding service.
