Haley and Ryan Brobst attend Westmoreland toddler program while their mother, Renee
Brobst, is in class. Westmoreland is one of several childcare sites through the University.

three children younger than the
age of five. Haley, 4, and Ryan,
who is almost 3, attend the West
moreland toddler program. Jason,
11 months, attends off-campus
child care but will attend Univer
sity’s center when he turns 1.
“Taking later classes is difficult,”
Brobst said. “I get out of class at 6
(p.m.), and I go and pick them up. I
take them home and feed them.
Sometimes I only see them for 15
minutes and then have to put them
to bed.”
Brobst needs to take a class from
5 to 7 p.m. spring term and is un
certain about the available child
care hours. But this term the pro
gram was helpful and was able to
accommodate her class schedule.
Prior to winter term, Westmore
land stayed open until 5:30 p.m.,
but the program agreed to remain
open for an extra half-hour to work
with later afternoon classes.
“Sometimes I only see them
for 15 minutes and then
have to put them to bed. ”

“We always try to accommodate
student parents,” said Keven Reijo
nen, lead teacher for the West
moreland toddler program.
Reijonen said it is Westmore
land’s policy to extend its hours if
there are at least three children
who need later hours.
“The day care has been great,”
Brobst said. “They were very will
ing to stay open later so I could at
tend my class. ”
The University proposed the
new access-based tuition model in
response to increasing enrollment
and decreasing state support. The
proposed tuition model focuses on
dispersing teaching hours and
classes more evenly throughout
the day, providing lower cost tu
ition alternatives and providing
more choices for students in terms
of cost, time of day and number of
available courses.
“It makes sense for the majority
of students, but as a nontraditional
student with young children, it
concerns me,” Brobst said. “I like
the idea, but anytime you have
people with young children, it will
be tough.”
Susan Lesyk, director of Academ
ic Learning Services, said that it is
difficult to predict the impact this
tuition model could have on nontra
ditional students. While it could be
a disadvantage for some students
who have children, it could also be
an advantage for other students.
“I don’t know how it will all
play out,” Lesyk said. “It could go
either way.”
