History
UADC has been serving
the Madison area since 1967. The beliefs and values that founded
this non-profit day care are alive and well to this day. They continue to
serve the Madison community and work as a member
in it while always, "Putting Children First."
Facilities
UADC is located inside
the First Congregational
Church*. This organization and historic building have been a part
of the Madison community for many years.
Classrooms
at UADC are spacious and filled with a loving, creative, learning
environment appropriate for the age group which occupies them. Computers
are accompanied by fun and educational software.
We have updated our playground with some new equipment. The children enjoy
spending their outside time playing games, running and climbing. Often the
kids will hike to one of the nearby parks and recreational facilities that
enhance our location so wonderfully. A large gymnasium, known as "the
running room," allows the children a wonderful playspace
during inclement weather.
The kitchen and cafeteria facilities are utilized to provide the children
with hot meals and nutritious snacks! UADC children
practice table manners and respect for their fellow diners.
* UADC leases their
facilities from the First Congregational Church, as does the infant/toddler
care program next door at Great Beginnings.
The church supports community involvement and ensuring quality day care in
our community. UADC has no religious affiliations.
Statement
of Purpose
