NOVA opens day care center and kindergarten

10 November 2022

To comply with the Gender Equality, Equal Opportunity and Diversity Policy the Oeiras Campus, where ITQB NOVA is located, has a nursery/kindergarten that children from ITQB NOVA researchers and students can attend.Additionally, NOVA started to offer the services of a day care center and kindergarten for staff (faculty and non-faculty members) and students at Caparica Campus. Making family life compatible with studying or work can be a strong condition for natality. After many requests from the academic community of FCT-NOVA, at Caparica Campus, for the creation of solutions that would help this community in its compatibility with family life, in 1999 it was created the Center of Pre-School Education (CEPE) through a non-profit institution, the Private Institute for Socio-Cultural Development (IPDSC), which includes three areas, nursery, day care center and kindergarten, with a maximum capacity of 34 children. After some problems in the management of CEPE, and with the dissolution of the IPDSC, SASNOVA decided to take over the management of this Center in 2021. The investment in this center is expected to contribute to increase support for births in the NOVA community, namely in the Caparica Campus.
