New child-care center slated
to open at Penn State Fayette

This summer Penn State Fayette will unveil its newly renovated, 47,570-square-foot Eberly Building housing a child-care facility, The Cub's Den, which is an extension of Duck Hollow Discovery Learning Center, operated by Rebecca Belski.

The project was completed through the financial support of Robert and Elouise Eberly and in partnership between Penn State Fayette and Duck Hollow.

The Cub's Den child-care center will officially open Aug. 15 with priority enrollment given to children of current Penn State Fayette students, staff and the general public, respectively. Hours will be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays. Children ages 2 through 6 will be accepted for the morning and afternoon sessions, and children ages 2 through 12 will be admitted for evening and Saturday sessions.

The campus renovated the ground floor of the Eberly Building specifically for The Cub's Den, incorporating kitchen equipment, security controls such as a buzzer entry system, locked doors and closed-circuit monitors throughout. An outdoor playground also will be finished and fenced.

An advisory group of the campus will meet regularly with center staff to ensure continuous and total quality. The center will be maintained and supplied with general operating materials by the campus as well.
