We Are a 5 Star Facility
How are the stars determined? Staff Education and Program Standards each have a range of one to seven points. Have a look at this chart for clarification!
Things We Do to Maintain Our 5-star Rating
- Our centers are age and developmentally appropriate environments.
- We create a written plan of developmentally appropriate activities designed to stimulate social, emotional, intellectual and physical development for each group of children in our care.
- We can assure you that each childcare center provides equipment and furnishings that are child-size, or which can be adapted for safe and effective use by children. Our chairs and tables are the proper height for the children who will be using them.
- All of our equipment is sturdy, stable, and free of hazards that are accessible to children during normal supervised play including sharp edges, lead based paint, loose nails, splinters, and pinch and crush points.
- All of our personnel have on file within 60 days of their date of employment, a statement signed by a health care professional that indicates that the person is emotionally and physically fit to care for children.
Hear What Our Parents Have to Say About Us
“My children have been attending UCDC at the university location since April 2009. During their time at UCDC, my children have been exposed to many valuable experiences. The teachers and staff at UCDC are friendly, caring, and helpful. My children have taken advantage of a wonderful summer camp program and a thriving Transitional Kindergarten program. As well as a before and after school program has provided peace of mind knowing that my child will get to and from school safely and on time. After school, my child receives homework assistance. My oldest child has also received tutoring service from Kennedy Learning Center, which has truly helped my child to excel academically. Not only do I enjoy knowing that my children are in a safe, productive learning environment with caring teachers and staff, but my children enjoy attending UCDC every day and interacting with their teachers and friends. My family and I are truly blessed by the wonderful day-to-day experience that we have at UCDC.”
