Child Care

At NC State, we believe in the importance of developing a holistic, robust and inclusive child care program for our campus.

We strive to support our commitment to family-friendly initiatives, develop a strong and diverse child care program for our campus community, and increase the capacity and access to quality child care for all of our faculty, staff and postdocs. Some resources and discounts are available to students from KinderCare and those additional vendors are listed and denoted as “available to students.”
