APRIL E-News
NYU Family Care is excited to give you an update on the programs and services that we are creating for you. This month we are highlighting two new web tools along with resources and supports for families with young children. We look forward to hearing your response and to continuing to work to provide you with information and services to help you care for your families.
NYU Babysitting Registry and the NYU Parents Network Launched
Two new web-based tools are now available for NYU parents through the Family Care website.
- The NYU Babysitting Registry helps NYU parents and NYU students connect around the need for occsional, part-time, evening, day, weekend, or summer care. The site is password protected to ensure that all users are active members of the NYU community. Helpful information about hiring a babysitter and starting a babysitting co-op is included on the site. Log-on today
- NYU Parents Network provides an easy way for NYU parents to network with NYU colleagues on child care, parenting, and other relevant issues. Log-on today
NYU Family Child Care Network Ready to Welcome Children
The NYU-University Settlement (US) Family Child Care Network has successfully created new home-based child care near the NYU campus. Newly licensed family and group family network providers will begin welcoming children into their programs in September; some spaces may be available as early as May. If you are interested in visiting our new family care homes, please contact family.care@nyu.edu or 212.998.9085 to schedule a visit with the Network's Education Coordinator.
Recruitment of new providers continues. If you or someone you know is interested in joining the NYU/US Network and training to care for children in your home, please contact our partner, University Settlement, directly at 212-453-4524.
Limited Spaces Remain in July Campus-based Summer Camp
The Go Green! Environmental Camp, offered in collaboration with McBurney YMCA, Steinhardt's Wallerstein Collaborative for Urban Environmental Education, and Coles Sports and Recreation Center, will provide rich programming for 24 elementary school children, aged 6-11 years, during each of two 2-week sessions, July 7-18 and July 21-August 1. The program, subsidized by NYU, will cost $550 per session for each camper. For more information and to secure a place, please contact family.care@nyu.edu or 212.998.9085.
