UW-Madison Affiliated Child Care Centers

The University of Wisconsin-Madison provides high quality child care for students, faculty and staff. Currently, there are eight different sites on or close to campus where child care is available. Developmentally appropriate "best practices," combined with nurturing and consistent environments make UW Campus Child Care an excellent choice.

Child care centers on campus support child development and family life while fulfilling the important education, teaching and research mission of the University.

Campus centers are nationally accredited by the National Association for the Education of the Young Child, state licensed or accredited by the City of Madison. Each center complies with literally hundreds of standards relating to safety and physical space, staff supervision and training (campus centers utilize professional teachers who have a degree in early childhood education), curriculum and program planning.

You are welcome and in fact, encouraged, to visit the campus centers to find the program best suited to you and your child's needs. Campus Programs provide a range in size and scope of services.

• Serve as training sites for a number of students from a variety of fields of study;
• Provide research opportunities for a number of departments on campus who are interested in studying issues relevant to children and families.
