Resources for parents
You have access to our community of child care providers only available to University of Kentucky employees and students through Big Blue Family Care.
Additionally we maintain an up-to-date list of child care centers and community programs, the Little Cats Guide for new parents, educational materials and exclusive discounts for UK parents.
New parents
Congratulations! To have a smooth transition with benefits and leave time following the birth, adoption or guardianship/placement of your child, here's what you need to know.
Planning for child care
Hire a student for occasional caregiving needs or browse child care centers near campus or your home—possibly even with an employee discount.
Child care centers and programs
UK does not endorse any of the child care providers in this list. We provide them to support parents in their efforts to manage their child care needs.
