Eagle’s Wing Child Care

At Eagle’s Wing Child Care and Education Programs, we are dedicated to providing children with the highest quality care. A variety of child-care programs for children ages 6 weeks – 8 years are available Monday through Friday, year-round. Eagle’s Wing serves families from University Apartments, UW-Madison, and the surrounding community.

Accreditation

Eagle’s Wing is nationally accredited through the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA). We have also been accredited by the City of Madison’s Child Care Unit for over 20 years. Previously, we were concurrently accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), but made the switch so we could enroll children in the community who have Access for Infants and Mothers (AIM) funding. AIM is a federal grant that has been integral in aiding student parents as they achieve their academic goals.

Eligibility

While open to the general public, University Apartments residents have priority when enrolling their children at Eagle’s Wing. The order of the waiting list is based on date of application, priority list, and space availability. Interested parents or guardians may complete a waiting list form online in order to be added to the Eagle’s Wing waiting list.

Operation

Eagle’s Wing is operated by University Apartments, part of UW-Madison’s Division of University Housing. Administrative support comes from the University Housing’s administrative offices with direct links to the departments of business services, human resources, and information technology. Facility support, including custodial, maintenance, and grounds services come directly from the University Apartments office in the Community Center.
