TULSA, Okla. -

The University of Oklahoma is helping parents who are going to school, focus on their studies with free childcare.

OU's Institute of Child Development has expanded to now offer infant and toddler care.

The university said the program enables parents to study without worrying about their kids and gives education students the chance to get real-world experience.

The program is free to OU students, but other parents can enroll their children and pay for the childcare.
