Early Care Center

A licensed, three-star Early Care Center for children ages 6 weeks through 12 years is housed on campus. The Center is nationally recognized and accredited. Interested parents must personally confer with the Childcare Coordinator or assistant regarding vacancies. Children will not be accepted on a “drop-in” basis.

A daily rate is charged based on the age of the child and length of stay. Hours are from 7:30am to 4:30pm.

Head Start

Early Head Start is for ages from birth to age 3. Head Start is available to children 3-4 years of age who meet eligibility guidelines. Enroll through the Head Start director in the Early Care Center.

Student ID’s

Students are issued a picture identification badge upon placement in their training program. The badge is to be worn at all times while the student is on campus, attending a CKTC sponsored activity, clinical, internship, work-site learning or riding on CKTC transportation unless instructed by their instructor to remove the badge when operating machinery. Five dollars will be charged to replace a lost badge.

Disability Services for Adult Students

Students who have disabilities, including those with mobility limitations, speech, hearing or sight impairment, previously diagnosed learning or other disabilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1990, may receive reasonable educational accommodations. If students wish to request accommodations, that request needs to be processed through the counselor’s office. Records of accommodation activity are kept separate from all admissions activity. Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to confer with their counselor and instructor regarding their special educational needs.

To request accommodations, students with disabilities must go directly to the counselor. All disabilities must be verified with current supporting documentation from an appropriate professional (licensed physician, licensed psychologist, approved agency, etc.). Student’s responsibilities may include obtaining psychological/educational/medical testing and providing verifying documents.

Contact CKTC’s counselors for information to document needs and services available. Students are advised to make requests in advance of the beginning of classes. Inquiries about reasonable accommodations for a person with disabilities may be directed to the counselor and instructor.

CKTC is committed to the goal of achieving equal educational opportunities, offering full participation for students with disabilities, and providing assistance that will facilitate students’ independence and academic progress.

Student Insurance

CKTC does not carry insurance covering student accidents and is not liable. Information on school insurance is available for secondary students at their sending school. Adults are responsible for their own accident and health insurance.
