Sounds like "New Mexico Tech" has had problems in the 
past with children at work.  I do see children at work,
and most of the time it does not bother me, although 
an infant crying all morning could break any concentration
I had ....  

A couple of weeks ago, I brought my 3 1/2 year old son to
work, due to his school was closed for some unknown holiday.
We lasted 2 hours (barely) !!!  I would never bring my son
to work again, I ran around all day, and didn't get much 
accomplished.  

Although, all children are different, and the Parent should
use their judgment in whether their child can handle being a
good, quiet child for 8 hours (I don't know tooo many) ....

In regards to Insurance reasons, I believe it is true !!!  
When I worked in a Manafacturing Building, no children are 
allowed, due to the hazardous equipment in the building.
This may be the case for "New Mexico Tech" ???

A suggestion, request a Day Care close by to the job !!!
Although beware, I've been trying for this for 3 1/2 years
and they (company) are still thinking about it ???

Good Luck ....
