Commitment to Excellence

At the UW-Madison Office of Child Care and Family Resources (OCCFR), addressing the university’s need for expanded child care options and capacity remains our top priority. In addition to our three Campus Child Care Centers, we partner with nine licensed, accredited, high-quality child care centers in the community through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) and contracting process. This collaboration creates a win-win solution for the university and community by ensuring UW families have access to a wider range of exceptional child care and early education options, while supporting and strengthening local child care programs.
