The The UCCS Family Development Center offers high quality, year-round education for children between 1- and 5-years-old, with summer programs for elementary students. We offer a number of programs, including preschool options, as well as early learning options. Through play, our exemplary staff teaches children everything from empathy to cooperation and independence to imagination. The FDC is available to UCCS students who need childcare support while they pursue their degree.
This volunteer opportunity is hosted in partnership with the UCCS Days of Service and Action. This series of events are inspired by the Dr. MLK federal holiday as a way for everyone to continue engaging with their commitment to investing in the health and harmony of our communities.
