The Manchester Family Child Development Center is located on the east end of campus, adjacent to the Manchester Village apartments. Its goal is to offer a safe and enriching environment in which children can play, grow and learn in mixed-age, family style groups. It offers a rich, stimulating setting that is warm and supportive for each child’s individual learning pace. The Center enrolls children of University students, employees and alumni as well as children from the general community, aged 2 1/2 years through kindergarten. The Center is open year round and offers full or half-day enrollment two, three or five days per week. The Center welcomes Field Experience and Practicum students from the Schools of Education and Nursing as well as Psychology. Students from all majors are invited to volunteer at the Center. In addition, the children come to the main campus often for special events like trick-or-treating and department tours.
