Trying to find adequate childcare while you attend classes is a serious and sometimes frustrating business, especially if you are not fortunate enough to have family members in the area able to help. Remember however, it is your responsibility to carefully check out any and all child care providers to make sure that they fulfill the requirements that you have set for the care of your children.

East Tennessee State University has three campus child care programs; two programs serve children on a regular basis while parents attend classes or work; one program is located at the Center for Physical Activity and provides casual care while parents participate in activities there.

The Child Study Center, located less than 1 mile from the main ETSU campus, provides full-day, full-years child care services. The operating hours for the facility are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Child Study Center serves children ages 3 months through 3 years in the Infant/Toddler Program and children 3 years through 5 years in the Early Learning Program. It follows the ETSU Administrative calendar. Contact the Child Study Center by calling (423) 439-4888.
