The center presently operates for three-, four-, and five-year olds from 7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., Monday through Friday. A half-day program for four hours a day is also available.

The major purpose of the Early Learning Center is to provide a diversified, developmentally appropriate program for children. It is also a supportive service to students, faculty, and staff, as well as the community. Other services of the program are a practicum setting for student interns in child care, ongoing education and support groups for parents, and opportunities for parental involvement.
