Princeton University provides access to an excellent child care center on campus for faculty, staff, students, and community. The center is operated by University-NOW Day Nursery School, a not-for-profit childcare program, located at 185 Broadmead. U-NOW provides a full-day program (partial week arrangements may be available) for children ages 12 weeks until kindergarten. The children of University faculty, staff, and students have priority for admission.
The Burke Foundation Childhood Center at YWCA Princeton, located next to Merwick Stanworth housing, offers flexible, convenient, reasonably-priced child care to Princeton faculty, staff, and students. Dual-language immersion classes for three and four-year-olds are available for Princeton residents as part of the Princeton Public Schools Free Preschool Program. Tiger Camp is available for children 12 and under during Princeton Reunions. For more information on childcare programs, call (609) 497-2100, extension 334, or visit the YWCA Princeton website.
