Childcare is a major barrier to college completion for many parenting students. Limited availability of on-campus childcare and rising childcare costs, in one way or another, influence student parents’ enrollment decisions, as well as their work and study schedules. It’s an equity imperative to position the nearly four million student parents, who are often women, low-income and BIPOC, for college completion. But the share of colleges that provide on-campus childcare has been declining. A recent study highlighted that 49 percent of four-year public colleges provided on-campus childcare services in 2015, down from 55 percent in 2003.
