Child Care Center

The Medical Center built a child care center at 55 Castleton, just south of Helen Wood Hall, that opened in September 1998. The facility was originally operated Childtime and is now managed by KinderCare. The facility can accept 120 children up to age 6.

Plans have been approved for the construction of a child care facility on the Medical Center campus.
The center will be operated by Childtime Inc., a national child care firm headquartered in Detroit. Anticipated to open September 1, the facility will be constructed behind Helen Wood Hall and will accommodate 132 children.
The construction plans follow the recommendations of a committee appointed by Jay Stein, senior vice president and vice provost for health affairs, to look at the child care needs of the community. The committee included representatives from the School of Medicine and Dentistry, the School of Nursing, nursing practice, Strong Memorial Hospital, and Office of Human Resources. The committee recommended the development of a child care facility to support the Medical Center's efforts to recruit and retain high-quality staff and faculty.
The center will be open to all members of the University community with first preference given to employees of the Medical Center. Enrollment will be on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning in mid-March. Specific information regarding enrollment will be available at informational sessions conducted by Childtime during the week of February 23. Announcements on those sessions will be mailed to all employees.
