The Services

Originally founded by the USSU, the USSU Childcare Centre now operates independently as an affiliated organization with a separate Board of Directors. It is government subsidized and licensed for 66 children aged six months to six years and exists primarily to serve the needs of undergraduate students. However, the Centre will also take the children of graduate students, staff and faculty if all the available spaces have not been taken by the children of undergraduates. Nutritious snacks and a hot lunch are provided daily. The staff are fully qualified with a minimum of a two-year diploma from the Early Childhood Education program. They are experienced and well-trained.

A wide variety of activities are offered that are specifically planned to encourage all areas of development for each child. Optional parent-paid swim and music programs are also available.

The Facility

The USSU Childcare Centre is a beautiful facility offering little ones the best in care, play and safety. Convenient drop-off and pick-up parking is available. Child-sized bathroom fixtures and furniture promote independence and learning. The Centre provides a separate infant area end, open concept play areas for older children, as well as a large, park-like fenced outdoor play area.
