Hours of Operation

The Center is open Monday through Friday from 7:15 a.m. until 5:45 p.m. for children enrolled full-time. However, 10 hours is a very long day for children to be away from home, and we recommend (when it is possible) that families leave their children at the center for no more than six to eight hours per day. Children enrolled for half days must be picked up by 12:30 daily.

M.F.C.D.C. is open year round, and enrollment is typically contracted from September 1 through August 31. We close for four full weeks during the year, two in December/January, and two in June/July. No tuition will be charged for these four weeks. The Center will observe all University holidays, and will also close for five Staff Development Days during the year. The weekly tuition fee will not be affected when the Center is closed due to University Holidays, Staff Development Days, or children's absences due to illness or vacation.
