Welcome to the West Virginia University Child Learning Center

The WVU Child Learning Center (CLC) opened on August 3, 2009. The center is managed by Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC.

The center is licensed to provide care to over 200 children ages 6 weeks to school age. In addition to expansive classroom spaces, the center boasts a private space for nursing mothers, a large indoor playroom, and a fenced natural outdoor play space with separate areas for preschoolers and those under three.

The center is intended to serve the childcare needs of University students and employees. If space permits, the center will be open to children of members of the community.

The Child Learning Center will provide children with breakfast and lunch as well as an afternoon snack. All menus will be developed by a registered dietitian. Meals and snacks are planned to meet nutritional requirements recommended by the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) which is run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. All meals will be prepared on site.

The Child Learning Center meets all licensing requirements of the state of West Virginia.

Before and After School Care

The WVU Child Learning Center offers before and after school care for school age children with Monongalia County bus service to North Elementary and Suncrest Primary. Enrollment in the before and after school program gives your child priority enrollment for the Center’s school age Summer Program and care during your local county school holidays and breaks which are not University holidays. The before school program also provides care for your child when you local county schools are operating on a two-hour delay.


Snow Days Program

We also offer a Snow Days program for days when your local county Schools are not in session due to inclement weather. To participate in the Snow Days program you must have completed all necessary paperwork prior to the day for which you need service. Families enrolled in our Before and After School program will receive priority over others seeking child care on Snow Days.
