UO AFFILIATED CHILD-CARE PROGRAMS
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

University of Oregon families represent a unique range of students, faculty and staff whose needs for child care reflect varying work and school schedules, responsibilities and budget constraints. Child care programs that serve the University community must demonstrate responsiveness to these needs by including the following elements:

Providing an environment where they are encouraged to: be actively involved in the learning process, to experience without limitations or biases a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and materials and to pursue their own interests in the context of life in their community and the world.

Serving children and their families. Close interaction and involvement with parents is encouraged and supported.

 

Including university students as an integral part of staffing by providing work-study opportunities, practicum and internship positions.  

Providing research, observation and practicum experiences for faculty and students from a variety of disciplines.

Achieving the highest standards of excellence in the field of early childhood education. In doing so, they will actively encourage and support the professional development of their staff.
