Early Childhood Center

Where friendship and learning go hand in hand.

The Northern Kentucky University Early Childhood Center is a direct extension of the campus atmosphere -- student-centered and quality driven.  As a nonprofit organization, our sole purpose is to provide an excellent child care program and environment for NKU students, staff and faculty and community members.

We serve more than 125 children, ages 2-12, annually, and we have more than 35 years experience providing a play-based educational curriculum that encourages children to learn through interaction.

We are licensed and regulated by the Kentucky Cabinet for Families and Children, and we are accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children. If you would like to learn more about us, please feel free to contact us with questions or request more information.
