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

We lease our facilities from the First Congregational Church. This organization and historic building have been a part of the Madison community for many years. Although we lease our facilities from the church, UADC has no religious affiliations.

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. 
 

Statement of Purpose

UADC provides an individualized, developmentally-appropriate environment and program for children aged 2 years 9 months through 9 years. UADC staff act as resources and support for families of enrolled children. UADC is dedicated to retaining highly professional staff to deliver these services, to creating a responsive work climate that fosters staff retention and professional growth, and to providing ample resources to meet these goals. UADC operates in strict compliance with all day care licensing rules of the state of Wisconsin and certification standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
