Video: Rollins’ New Evening Educare Program

Rollins’ new Evening Educare program provides high-quality childcare to parents pursuing bachelor’s and master’s degrees through the College’s Professional Advancement and Graduate Studies programs.

The new program, which is housed in the Hume House Child Development & Student Research Center on campus, provides childcare for children ages 5 to 11 while their parents attend evening classes on campus.

The Evening Educare program features a much smaller teacher-to-child ratio than typical childcare programs for elementary-age children with at least one teacher for every six children.

Launched this past fall, the program costs just $5 per hour for the spring and summer 2025 semesters. Thanks to a gift from the Warren and Augusta Hume Foundation, the program will be free for eligible students beginning in fall 2025.
