CAREERS

Finding the right child care option for will always be one of the most important decisions you make. Here are some resources and tips to help you. Some things have changed in Kentucky and a new website is now dedicated to helping you find many resources and services including child care support. As always, the Child Care Aware of Kentucky website continues to be a great resource. They provide information sheets specific to families for choosing child care, children with special needs and more. Additionally, the Human Development Institute at the University of Kentucky offers valuable information on early childhood education.

We would also like to recognize KinderCare, our official partner. KinderCare has four locations in the Lexington area providing an accredited early childcare education program. They offer a 10%-15% discount to UK employees.

Back to school is one of the busiest and expensive times of the year for parents. Most parents would agree that the commercials and ads come too soon; and the list of supplies is too long. Nonetheless, we must get ready to support our child’s academic, mental and emotional needs this school year.
