Activities and services for UK employees and their familiesAre you looking for child-friendly resources and services?
Whether you are looking for a place for your child to enjoy after school or an extracurricular activity to encourage an area of interest, you can find opportunities in our listings. Some programs also provide extra services like extended hours, availability on snow days and holidays, and camps during summer and winter breaks. Several offer discounts for UK employees. Take a look!
UK does not endorse any of these resources or special programs. We provide these listings to support families with up-to-date information to assist with their parenting needs and child care planning.
If you are a vendor, you are invited to share your resource in two ways: 1) register for the September 2 in-person resource fair or 2) register to be listed in the online directory. Parents Resources vendor registration website, please click here.
UK employees are invited to connect with these vendors at the in-person UK Parents Resource Fair on Wed., Sept. 2nd between 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Open to all UK faculty and staff and their support partners. Also, you may contact the vendors directly before and after the resources fair.
