In this great big university, it is the little ones who matter most to us.
Your gifts enable the children of faculty, staff, and students to thrive in high-quality learning centers; ensure that struggling student-parents stay on the path to degree completion; assist lower-income university staff with the cost of child care; and empower campus early educators to reach their vast potential. The impact of our office stretches across every school, college, and department on campus. We are at the crossroads of the Badger success story!
Science confirms what our common sense already knows: investing in the early years creates human and economic capital essential to bright futures for generations to come.
Thank you for giving back in such a meaningful way!
“The Office of Child Care and Family Resources along with CCTAP allowed me to send my child to an incredible child care. Instead of having to work more hours as a nurse on weekends to ensure that our family could afford child care during the week, I instead was able to spend my weekends focused on studying and ensuring that we were able to spend quality time together as a family. Simply saying thank you does not feel adequate!”
— Rachel Chenowith, Doctor of Nursing Practice
“As a campus childcare teacher, I seek out ways to grow as a professional. With support from private OCCFR gift dollars, I was able to attend a national conference as a presenter. It was an invaluable experience and had a positive impact on my classroom. I am beyond grateful for donors who care about our youngest.”
