The child care center at Fox Valley Technical College serves not only FVTC students and staff, but also families from across the Fox Cities who are not affiliated with the college. We provide a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Through play-based curriculum and skilled early childhood educators, the center fosters a strong foundation for child learning and development.

The Parent/Child Center is a nonprofit organization state licensed by the Department of Children and Families (DCF). We provide for the educational, social and physical needs of the children, while also providing a learning experience for college students enrolled in the FVTC Early Childhood Education program.

Nutrition

The center provides a morning snack, full hot lunch, and afternoon snack to all enrolled children. Meals and snacks are prepared on-site. All meals and snacks are well-balanced and high in nutrition. Weekly menus are carefully reviewed regularly by the Center Director, staff, and by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s Food & Nutrition Service to ensure nutritional content and variety.

Meals are served family-style with our staff joining the children at their tables. Children are encouraged to serve themselves and to try new foods. Table manners are taught by example, and ample time is allowed for socialization. This helps mealtime to be a happy, enjoyable experience.
