Parent Info & Enrollment
Welcome to the CDC family!
We treasure the ability to care for your child and thank you for choosing the UNI Child Development Center.
We invite you to spend time with us. You are welcome any time. Visiting will help both you and your child feel comfortable and connected.
Visit for a short time or a day. If you would like to come for lunch, just let us know that morning. Mothers are always welcome to nurse their babies. We also have a lactation room located in the center. Plan to come as many times and stay as long as you and your child need to stay.
Non-custodial parents have the same rights as parents and guardians to the center unless limited by a visitation or custody decree.
Getting Enrolled
Parents are encouraged to fill out an enrollment form and email to cdcdirector@uni.edu or return their form to the CDC. Keep in mind, there will be a $50 registration fee required upon enrollment. Children are considered for enrollment in the order their paperwork is received. You child will then be admitted or join the waitlist.
If your child is put on the waitlist, you will remain on the list and may be selected if or when a spot becomes available.
Child Care Resource & Referral Program
We partner with the Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R), which helps parents make more informed decisions about your child's care. Based in Waterloo, it provides free support services to parents, child care providers and the community. Learn about:
- child care centers
- family and group day care homes
- preschools
- before- and after-school programs or
- care for children with special needs.
