Supporting Students and Their Children
At Moss Street Children's Center, we help UO student parents succeed in their academics by providing nurturing care for their children at an on-campus location. We offer programming that follows the academic calendar, on a term basis, to best fit students' schedules.
We celebrate the diversity of family structures and cultures, both in the community and in the larger world. We welcome children with varied abilities and challenges, and we emphasize the development of all children's social-emotional skills to help them grow into kind, respectful citizens.
First priority for Moss Street enrollment is given to UO student families. If space is available, we will also serve UO faculty and staff families.
An Amazing Place to Learn
Our programs serve children age three months through five years. Our teacher-to-child ratio exceeds state requirements, and we take pride in creating a supportive environment where children can grow and flourish in all aspects of their development.
We also offer unique childcare training to UO students who learn while working or volunteering side by side with our professional staff.

Student workers play an important role in our care program. And, after their time at Moss Street, many can qualify as an early childhood educator with the state of Oregon.
