Child Care Program Overview

The Child Care Program serves each child and family with exceptional early care and education, regardless of the type of enrollment or the amount of time a child spends in care each week.

We serve each child and family with:

  • Early childhood classroom teams that include teachers, assistant teachers and teaching aides working together to provide a secure, nurturing and challenging classroom environment that enhances children’s growth and development.
  • Implementation of The Creative Curriculum, a nationally recognized, research based approach to early education. The curriculum supports a developmentally appropriate, content-rich program for children with diverse backgrounds and skill levels.
  • Indoor and outdoor space that allows children to explore, discover, move, and grow.
  • Two facilities to meet the needs of over 430 families in the university community.
  • Meals and snacks meeting USDA guidelines prepared daily in the on-site kitchen. A breakfast, lunch and a snack are served daily at both the Ackerman Road and Buckeye Village facilities; dinner is also served after 6 p.m. at the Ackerman Road facility. USDA Food Program funds are used to supplement food costs.
  • Administrators who value children, families and teachers first and who bring a diversity of experience and skills to their positions.
