Chapter 4. Child Development Centers of California Education Code >> Division 9. >> Title 3. >> Part 57. >> Chapter 4.

(a) The Regents of the University of California and any other public or private nonprofit agency may contract with the State Department of Education to establish and maintain a child development center on or near each campus of the university pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 8200) of Part 6.
  (b) Operating agencies may accept student fees, parent fees, and private funds to operate campus child development centers, and may be reimbursed for costs that are eligible pursuant to Section 8208.

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to permit the regents to expend state funds appropriated for support of the University of California for the direct operating costs of campus child development centers.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, children under two years of age whose parent or parents are students may attend child development centers consistent with the priorities established within this division.

Children of students of that particular campus shall have first priority for attendance at a campus child development center. Each campus child development center maintained pursuant to Section 92300 shall have an advisory council composed of representatives of the parent-users and persons from fields related to the well-being of children. Student families, as defined in Section 8250.1, whose gross monthly income falls within the fee schedule established pursuant to Section 8249 shall pay fees according to the fee schedule. Highest priority shall be given to student families with the greatest income deficit, and lowest priority to student families with the greatest income. For the purposes of assigning eligibility priority, applicant student families shall be grouped according to the amount of their income in one-hundred-dollar ($100) monthly increments. All student families within a particular income range shall be treated as if their incomes were the same, and priority for eligibility within each particular income range shall be assigned on the following basis:
  (1) Single-parent student families.
  (2) Two-parent families, where both parents are students or where one parent is a student and the other is working. Student families who are recipients of public assistance shall be subject to the same assignment of priority as other student families whose incomes fall in the same income range.
