The CHILD Center is a department within the Division of Student Affairs and is also a component of the College of Education and Professional Studies. The center is licensed by the state of Wisconsin, serving children six weeks to 10 years of age. Hours are 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday, year round.

Mission

It is the intention of The CHILD Center to provide quality care to the children of students, faculty/staff and to the community at a reasonable cost. The center also serves as a fieldwork site for programs including but not limited to Early Childhood, Elementary Education, Communicative Disorders, Social Work, Counseling and School Psychology.
