UMD Children's Place

Vision

To be a model program providing quality, nurturing care and educational experiences for young children of diverse backgrounds and abilities.

Mission

UMD Children's Place is founded in the belief of the critical importance of the first years of life and the need to embrace the diversity of our world today. The mission of UMD Children's Place is three fold:

• To serve the needs of UMD for quality, nurturing care of their children while they are at work or study
• To provide interdisciplinary educational opportunities for UMD students in order to enhance their classroom learning with practical experience
• To support the University of Minnesota mission of outreach and public service by providing an inclusive program to serve the greater Duluth area in addition to the UMD community.

Diversity

UMD Children's Place strives to honor, support and celebrate the diversity of its children, families and staff. Diversity is interpreted in the broadest sense and includes race, language, faith background, family structure, sexual orientation, physical ability and economic status.
