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, faculty, alumni and community members.

We serve more than 125 children, ages 1-14, annually, and we have more than 35 years experience providing a curriculum built on constructivist theory that encourages children to learn through interaction.

We are licensed, regulated and star rated by the Kentucky Cabinet for Families and Children, and 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.

The NKU ECC is a self-supporting department within the university. We are continuously striving to develop new ways to raise funds through grants, private donations and the campus campaign. If you want to help make a difference, let us know!
