Itsy Bitsy Child Watch
Free child watch for all HCC students!
If you are an HCC student and a parent with a child between 3 months and 12 years, Itsy Bitsy Child Watch is for you! This FREE child watch service can be accessed by following the 3 step process below. We offer a safe, fun space for children while student-parents are on campus. Even if you don't think you need this occasional service right now, please enroll, so if the need arises, you'll be able to have your child join us.
Three steps to get started:
