The UNK Child Development Center provides a high quality early childhood care and education program for UNK associated families, which allows each child the respect and authority to develop physically, socially, intellectually, and emotionally to his/her full potential.
Our teaching will reflect a high regard for each child's uniqueness with respect and understanding of societal and cultural diversity. This is done with sensitive, caring staff working in partnership with parents and families.
UNK Child Development Center is located on the first floor at the south end of Otto Olson. This location allows parents to conveniently visit their children while working or attending classes at UNK. The location also enables faculty to use this facility as a lab site for students studying all aspects of child development.
