CHDC - Historical Background:
Campus child care has been an issue at the University of New Brunswick
since the mid-1980's.
In 1988, a survey of faculty and staff of UNB outlined the need for a
campus day care center. These results became part of a proposal to UNB to
study its feasibility.
In April 1992, the University of New Brunswick Day Care Working Group
convened. They refined the proposal for the day care center by adding
budgets and floor plans. The Day Care Working Group formed a "User
Committee" to give direction to the architect. Plans were developed to
accommodate participants in an integrated day care center.
Incorporation documents were filed with the New Brunswick Department of
Justice in December of 1992. The association was incorporated March 11,
1993.
When filing for incorporation, the Board of Directors wanted to ensure
that families would have an active involvement in all aspects of the
daycare. The corporation is constituted as an independent non-profit
association, incorporated by membership. The membership consists of
parents/ guardians of the children and staff of College Hill Daycare.
On March 15, 1994, the finance committee of the Board of Governors
approved the construction contract. In the spring of 1994, major
financial contributions were made by UNB, STU and other University groups.
The day care center is a University of New Brunswick building, leased to
College Hill Day Care Co-operative, Limited.
The day care center opened on September 6, 1994.
