There were 6,199 students that received an A, B, C, D of an F. These students include those who missed the drop date and quit coming to class. We are a group of students that has recognized the need for an on-site daycare at NWACC. It is our mission to make this project a reality

3. O UR G OALS Childcare will no longer be a problem for students who are parents. Enrollment, student retention and student success will increase. This facility will be unutilized by not only students but faculty and staff as well. Childcare will provide more of an opportunity for students interested in service learning projects and students enrolled in early childhood development classes.
