00:00:12.44  >> Well, guys, we had a tone of things to get done.
00:00:15.25  Let's go ahead and see what we've all gotten accomplished.
00:00:18.76  Um, Brad, what did you find at the library?
00:00:22.02  >> Uh, some pretty interesting stuff.
00:00:23.79  >> Good.
00:00:24.90  >> About 60% of two-year colleges and 50% of comprehensive universities offer some child-care arrangements.
00:00:31.67  Basically, there's four different kinds of daycare setups.
00:00:34.75  There's the full babysitting service.
00:00:37.06  In some places, the students pay exclusively for this service.
00:00:40.17  In others, the costs are totally subsidized by the university.
00:00:43.59  But most offer some combination of the subsidies and the direct charges.
00:00:47.80  >> So what are the other formats, then, Brad?
00:00:50.49  >> Well, there's university school settings, like lab schools.
00:00:53.84  Usually these are for kindergartners on up, but most of these are phasing out.
00:00:57.87  Another variation is an offshoot of the school setting.
00:01:01.49  These are the child-development lab settings.
00:01:04.05  Most of these are in schools where there's a child-development program.
00:01:06.81  But most of the child-development centers only operate for a few hours a day.
00:01:11.18  Then there's drop centers.
00:01:12.68  This is where the university provides a space and a staff member, and then the parents trade off watching each other's kids.
00:01:18.83  >> Okay.
00:01:19.25  So, how does that work?
00:01:20.55  Do the parents do all the coordinating?
00:01:22.87  >> Well, if your classes are in the morning, you might give three hours of time in the afternoon.
00:01:26.92  Basically, you just give back as many hours as you take.
00:01:30.65  >> Okay.
00:01:31.02  Is there any other commitment from the university, other than just providing space?
00:01:35.76  >> Well, sometimes they'll provide a staff member to handle coordination or keep records.
00:01:39.64  >> [Laughs] I'm so annoyed with my kids today, I'd be tempted to drop them off and never come back for them.
00:01:44.81  >> [Chuckles] Bad day?
00:01:45.96  >> Ooh!
00:01:47.06  >> What else do you have, Brad?
00:01:48.52  >> Uh, in the last instance, the university makes an arrangement with a private facility, usually one near the campus, then the students get some sort of discount, and the university picks up the remaining cost.
00:01:59.49  There's not too many of these operations like this, but there's lots of interest in them.
00:02:04.52  >> Brad, this is just great.
00:02:05.86  You've done a wonderful job.
00:02:07.33  This is going to make the rest of our work a lot easier.
00:02:09.94  Thanks.
00:02:10.57  >> Thanks.
00:02:12.17  >> Michael, you've been in another world today.
00:02:14.67  You haven't said a word.
00:02:16.33  Do you have any feedback on Brad's report?
00:02:18.57  >> No, not really.
00:02:19.83  >> [Sighs] Mike, that's just not how we work.
00:02:22.58  I mean, we always say how we feel.
00:02:24.78  And we've always been able to come to a consensus.
00:02:27.72  >> I'm just in a bad mood.
00:02:28.61  The report's fine, I just don't have anything to add.
00:02:32.84  >> Okay.
00:02:34.45  Well, we've heard about the four models of how daycares are usually set up.
00:02:38.35  I personally like the last two.
00:02:40.66  I think the drop center or an arrangement with a private daycare facility seem to be the most feasible.
00:02:45.30  >> Yeah, I agree.
00:02:46.03  >> Yeah, me too.
00:02:46.64  That's good.
00:02:47.44  >> Okay.
