Marquette University Child Care Center is an on-site, employer sponsored non-profit organization dedicated to quality care for children of all of those who make up the Marquette University community — students, staff, faculty and alumni.

Open-door policy

The center has an open-door policy for parents. You are welcome to visit your child anytime during his or her care.

Card access entry

The inside front door is locked at all times. When a child has been enrolled, a university ID is used as a key to access the card entry system. To activate an ID, please stop by the directors office. Marquette alumni or non-affiliated spouses will be given an alternate card for access. All cards must be returned to the center after enrollment ceases.

NOTE: Staff at the center may not always be available to open the door to bypass the system because they are busy with children. Use of your card assures the safety of all the children in our care and must be used consistently.

Escorting your child

Because of insurance and safety purposes, children MUST be escorted on the stairway and in the hallways.

Parking

Parking for drop-off and pick-up of children is available in the lot directly north of the building by the posted signs.

License

Marquette Child Care Center complies with the Department of Children and Families Services (DCF 251) licensing Rules for Group Child Care Centers.

The center license is posted next to the front door, as are the most recent inspection findings.

A copy of the DCF 251 Licensing Rules for Group Day Care Centers is available in the front office at any time.

Staff

All staff at MUCCC meet or exceed the requirements for child care providers in the state of Wisconsin. Staff members are hired based on their work experience, knowledge of a specific age group, and personal philosophy of working with and teaching children.
