Special Programs:
Mercy students confront a number of challenges in their efforts
to achieve academic success and attain a baccalaureate degree.
For many of our students, unforeseen cancellations in childcare
arrangements lead to uneven class attendance, which undermines
students' chances of success. In opening a new Bronx campus,
Mercy aims to address these problems by offering back-up
childcare for students who encounter occasional problems with
their regular childcare arrangements. The Bronx Campus Child
Care Center will be located in the Pavilion of the new campus.
This 1200 square foot facility will be directed by two certified
teachers, one of whom will be onsite at all times, and staffed
by Mercy students seeking careers in early childhood education.
Children aged 4 and older will be accepted. The Center will be
open from 9 am - 10 pm Monday through Saturday. We anticipate
serving about 20 children at any one time, and approximately 90
per day. Because this Center is envisioned as providing back-up
childcare only, we anticipate that over 2,000 different children
will be served each semester. The Center will not offer the
sequential curricular structure of a daycare center, as children
will not attend on a regular basis. Children will attend for
3-hour blocks to enable their parents to attend classes when
regular daycare arrangements fall through. Mercy offers a Music
Technology program at the White Plains Campus.
