University Child Care Committee (UCCC)

What is UCCC?

The University Child Care Committee (UCCC) founded in 1970 continues to address the ever pressing needs of having child care on campus as well as generally charged to provide recommendations to the Provost and Campus Child Care Coordinator regarding:

• The vision and mission for campus child care.
• Implementation of a comprehensive campus child care system, in light of the committee's vision and mission for campus child care.
• Evaluation of operations of the campus child care system, in light of priorities and principles for campus child care set by the committee.
• Needed improvements in the child care system, including proposals for expanding services.
• Accountability of all existing and proposed child care facilities, programs and services for meeting the requirements of UW System GAPP #88, particularly related to accreditation, affiliation and mission of campus children's centers.
• Priorities for allocating spaces and facilities for child care.

The UCCC not only addresses the need for child care on campus but also the quality of care, fair wages for the campus child care providers, affordability to University parents using campus child care centers and parental involvement.
