A brief description of the child care program, policy, or practice:

University Childcare Center’s goal is to offer first-class childcare and to provide a warm, engaging learning environment to the children of UGA faculty, staff and students as well as to families of the Athens community. Located in a newly renovated 12,000 square foot facility on UGA’s Health Sciences Campus, with a total of over 15,000 square feet of outdoor play area spanning four age appropriate playgrounds, University Childcare Center will bring happiness to many Athens children and families. University Childcare Center has smaller classrooms and very low teacher to child ratios giving our children the opportunity to receive great amounts of individual attention from our highly trained teachers. A University of Georgia childcare center has the great luxury of being associated with many educated, passionate individuals who have great experience and training in early childhood education. Our children learn from and are cared for by these individuals, which create a positive environment for our children’s critical first 5 years. These early years are the foundation for our children’s future. We hope you allow us the opportunity to help raise your children at University Childcare Center.
