Family Sports and Recreation
Even Fridays!
Even Fridays is a program
designed to meet the recreational
needs of faculty, staff, graduate
students, and their families. This
program focuses more on leisure
recreation. Family swimming, bowling,
skating, and beach days are typical
programs.

Family FIRST
Family FIRST (Fitness Instruction & Recreational Sports Training) is
another RecSports family program. Like all of our Family Programs, Family
FIRST seeks to improve the mind, body, and spirit of Notre Dame’s families.
However, this program focuses more directly on the fitness needs of families
and is specifically designed for parents and children to attend together.

Outdoor Adventures
Although we do not currently program any trips for families, we do offer
equipment rental year round. Tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, and sleep
pads are all available to rent through our registration page. We even carry
junior sized sleeping bags. Find out more information about our program on
our website.
Informal Family Recreation
Informal family recreation is a continuous part of our family
programming. Family hours occur weekly at all of our facilities, and are
adjusted accordingly for student breaks. This is a great time for you to
come and enjoy some great activity with your children.

Childcare
Current ECDC Committee
Committee objectives:
1. Provide an overview of ECDC operations to foster a
greater understanding within the Committee, allowing
members to share information with their constituent
groups.
2. Provide an avenue for Committee members to express
needs from various constituent groups represented.
3. Serve as a conduit to bring additional considerations
(shorter and longer term) to University leadership.
31
ECDC – ND Background
• Early Childhood Development Center is located on east
side of campus next to library parking lot
• Non-profit organization that is independent of Notre
Dame
• Daycare for children age 2 through Kindergarten
• Licensed by State of Indiana
• Accredited by National Association for the Education of
Young Children (NAEYC)
• Notre Dame location established in 1993
- Agreement with Notre Dame governs operation
- Spirit of original agreement was that the Center be operated in
such a way that it would be “…afford{able} to all Notre Dame
employees” – resulted in sliding scale tuition structure
(Note there is also Day Care at St Mary’s – established in 1971)
32
ECDC – ND
Cost of Attendance
• Operations are cost effective
• Largest expense (salaries and benefits) is driven by
licensing and accreditation
• ND subsidies offset tiered income structure
• Tuition rates were compared to other local Centers of
similar quality and ECDC – ND tuition rates are
comparable for hours of care provided
• Nationally, ECDC – ND tuition rates are reasonable
compared to other campus-based, accredited
programs
33
Access to ECDC-ND
• ECDC - ND open to all Notre Dame faculty, staff and
students, alumni, CSC families
• Equality of access:
• By lottery system - Lottery conducted by Dir. of ECDC
• Top priority given equally to Notre Dame faculty, staff
and students
• Sliding tuition scale
• 168 children total with a waitlist that varies from 69-84
in recent years (Currently 113)
• Wait lists have been relatively stable; higher this year,
but continue, especially for two year old room
(Note: No preferential access for recruiting)

ECDC – ND
Future Expansion Considerations
• No current plans underway for expansion; was explored in
response to growing demand
• Licensing and accreditation requirements
• Limit the size of classes
• Determine student/teacher ratios
• Determine qualifications of staff for facility
• Current ages served:
• Demand is high at 2-year old level
• Demand decreases with age
• Demand for kindergarten mostly met with current space due to
local kindergarten availability
37
ECDC – ND
Infant vs. Preschool Care
• Infant care prohibitively expensive for few spaces:
• New facility would not meet projected demand
• With facility the size of current ECDC footprint:
• Could serve approx. 56 children age infant to 2
• 16 total infants (max of 8 per room)
• More need met with facility for ages 2 to pre-K:
• With facility the size of current ECDC footprint:
• Could serve approx. 100 children age 2 to pre-K
• 34 additional slots for 2 and 2/3 groups combined
