Balancing classes, homework, work, and family can be a lot. If you’re an ACC student with kids, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. ACC offers childcare and other resources designed to help parenting students stay focused on their goals.
Evening Childcare on Campus
Taking a night class? ACC offers evening childcare at the Eastview Campus for children ages 2 to 10. Care is available on a sliding fee scale, and eligible students may qualify for free childcare through a federal grant program.
More Support for Parenting Students
Beyond childcare, ACC offers other support services tailored to student parents. These include:
- Food, diapers, and toiletries: Riverbat Bites Food Pantries are available at every ACC campus and offer free groceries and family essentials like diapers, baby wipes, and menstrual products.
- Emergency funds: Apply to the Student Emergency Fund for short-term financial assistance to help cover unexpected expenses.
- Health resources: ACC offers free mental health counseling and wellness support, including 24/7 virtual counseling sessions.
- Childcare scholarships: Awarded each semester for eligible students to choose a childcare provider that meets their family’s needs.
