The University Child Learning and Care Center is sponsored by the student body at UWSP and provides high quality, reasonably priced child-care. The Center was opened in 1973. Several work-study students are teacher's aides and volunteers involved in university practicum work augment the center's staff. Daily activities are offered in art, science, music, block building, outdoor play, stories, dramatic play, cooking, and field trips. Snacks are provided twice a day.
Children scheduled during the noon hours bring their own sack lunches.
The academic year and summer programs are nationally accredited and state licensed, staffed by professional teachers, assistants and students. The four interim sessions follow state licensing requirements. Flexible scheduling is allowable. Children may register from 2 to 45 hours each week. All children must be registered for at least two consecutive hours each day of attendance.
