Child Care Centres on Campus

The Early Childhood Education Centre: ECEC Hildegard Marsden Co-operative Day Nursery Inc. Klemmer Farmhouse Cooperative Day Nursery Inc. Paintin' Place Kids & Company

A wide variety of Child Care Services are available through four centres operating on the University of Waterloo campus. The Centres offer care for children 3 months through school age and include full and half day programs. Fees vary according to the program. Families who are unable to pay for their child care costs may be eligible for Child Care Subsidy, through Children's Services at the Region of Waterloo. Eligibility is determined through a financial needs test and approved families may be eligible for a full or partial subsidy. For more information or to apply, parents should contact the Child Care Subsidy office at 519-883-2200.

Each of the centres is fully licensed and inspected under the Ministry of Community, Family and Children's Services and meets the requirements of the Day Nurseries Act, the Ontario Fire Code and the Local Health Department.

Due to the demand for services on campus, early contact is strongly advised. Contact each appropriate centre and place the child's name on a waiting list.

The University of Waterloo also has established storm closing procedures so that when the local school boards are closed, UW is closed. This applies to all day care centres.
