Educational Opportunities for Children
Organizing children’s schedules through day cares, preschools, schools, after-school programs, and summer camps can seem like putting together a puzzle and hoping all the pieces fit into place. The University of Mississippi offers child care resources and educational opportunities, as well as a tuition benefit for children of full-time, benefit-eligible faculty and staff.
Willie Price Lab School provides preschool experiences for children who are 3 or 4 years of age by Sept. 1 of the enrollment year.
