Children'S Center Day Care

Overview

Children's Center Day Care operates as a non-denominational, not-for-profit child care program in Urbana serving children ages 15 months through five years with full-day care on weekdays. The center lists weekday hours as 7:45–5:30.

Curriculum and learning approach

The program uses the HighScope curriculum, a play-based, child-centered approach that emphasizes active learning. Classroom lessons and activities are organised around HighScope’s key developmental indicators.

Meals and nutrition

Meals are prepared on site as part of a home-cooked food program, with a balanced breakfast, hot lunch and an afternoon snack.
The center participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and notes dietary practices such as serving whole milk to children under 2 and 1% or skim milk to children over 2; all milk served is unflavored.
Menus include whole-grain options and provide substitutions or appropriate meat alternatives where indicated.

Facilities and activities

Photographs on the site show indoor activity rooms and outdoor play areas. Programme images and captions indicate opportunities for swimming, playground play, art and craft activities, music/movement (including yoga and parachute play), and other gross-motor and creative activities.
