All students enrolled in the Child Care & Early Childhood Education Programs at Iowa Lakes Community College are considered members of the Child Care Club. 

The club meets at least monthly during the Child Care Professionals and Early Childhood Professionals Classes from 3:00-3:55 p.m. on Wednesdays. The club members elect a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Each student is a member of one of the four standing committees: social, ways & means, education, and service. Meetings are conducted with standard parliamentary procedure.
