102A 541-737-7255 __________________________________________________________________________ New Child Care My name is
Kristi King and I am the Site Director of Our
Little Village Drop-off Care for Children in the Valley Library. This
is a free service for OSU student parents. They drop off their child(ren) with us and we take
care of them for 2-3 hours per day while the student parent gets
to study in the library. This is an
amazing service for student parents to have and use. Having an extra 2-3
hours a day, a few days a week, of uninterrupted study time could really help a
lot of student parents be more successful in their course work. Kristi King / Site
