The CSUB Children's Center has been a vital resource on campus, providing quality childcare to students and staff for over 20 years. Currently accommodating 150 children with 52 on the waiting list, the center prioritizes low-income students' needs. To further enhance services, a survey will assess the childcare requirements of the CSUB community. Supported by a $5,000 grant from Mattel’s Children Foundation, the center aims to develop an infant care program and extend operational hours, ensuring that more CSUB families have access to essential childcare services.
