Semester Break Care

Ukids - President's Circle provides limited care during semester breaks.  Two weeks prior to a break we will email out an application for break care to currently enrolled families.   The Purple, Yellow, and Red Room will be the only open classrooms. However, we will still provide care for ages 6 weeks-5years.  Priority is given to families who are enrolled in the Early Head Start program, then to students.  Staff/Faculty may utilize this service depending on availability.  Parents must pay their regular hourly rate for the hours that they request. Once the break care application is completed, parents are contracted to pay for the hours they requested.  We offer care during the following breaks: 

• Spring Break
• Spring to Summer Break
• Summer to Fall Break
• Fall Break

For more information contact us at presidentscircle@sa.utah.edu. 

Early Head Start

Ukids - President's Circle has partnered with Early Head Start to provide additional services for income eligible families.  Families must first be enrolled at Ukids - President's Circle with a child in the Yellow Infant/Toddler classroom and then may apply through Early Head Start to receive benefits such as free health screenings, disposables such as diapers and wipes, personalized assistance through a family advocate, and other great resources.  For more information and an application contact the Director at presidentscircle@sa.utah.edu.

One Saturday night each month, quality child care is provided for children of students, staff* and faculty* at the UKids - East Village in the University Student Apartments East Village or UKids - President's Circle. Children must be comfortable in group play situations to attend. The program usually runs from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (see exceptions below).  The program is free for students*.
