University Children's Center hosts open house


The University Children's Center, located on campus at 525 Stanford Road, will host a fall open house from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17. This is the time to finalize your registration for fall childcare. Children already registered will be introduced to their teachers and classrooms. If you have never seen our center, please take the time to explore the culturally diverse learning environment we have for all children, including students with special needs.

The Children’s Center offers care and education to children ages 2 to 5 and those children needing care before and after Head Start. The Children’s Center is open to everyone in the Grand Forks community. Children do not need to be toilet trained to attend the Center. The University Children’s Center is licensed by the North Dakota Department of Human Services. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., year-round.

Children are cared for in small groups by a teacher with a degree in early childhood education or a related field. A day at the center includes a USDA-approved breakfast, lunch, snack, a choice of rest or nap time, group activity, outdoor play and center time. Parents are always welcome to be a part of this day.
