Contact us at 435-797-3657

Our purpose is to provide and maintain a high-quality inclusive early care and education program for young children of students, staff, and faculty parents of Utah State University.

Our objectives are:

  • To provide an emotionally positive, healthy, and nurturing environment for all children in our care.  Plan developmentally appropriate activities and experiences that enhance each child's social, emotional, cognitive, language, and physical development.
  • Create a diverse and stimulating learning atmosphere to meet the individual needs of children with respect to cultural, cognitive, and physical ability differences.
  • Maintain affirming and mutually supportive working partnerships with families to make those critical early learning years count.
  • Improve services to families with ongoing professional development opportunities for staff members.
  • Afford training to university students earning academic credit in early childhood education and other related fields.
