We have decided to make it easier for you to choose gifts for your child’s teacher and other staff members at the Cox Children’s Center.
Please click on the teacher or staff member’s name to see a list of their favorite things. If you see an “OOPS! Please check back later,” that staff member has not yet submitted a favorites list.
The University of Illinois Springfield Cox Children’s Center has received the Gold Circle of Quality designation, the highest rating possible, from ExceleRate Illinois, the state’s new quality rating and improvement system for early learning and development providers.
“We are proud to receive the Gold Circle of Quality,” said Stacey Gilmore, director of the UIS Cox Children’s Center. “Providing quality in early learning and development will help our children be better prepared for success in school and in life.”
As working parents of twins, it was very difficult getting our children into a daycare setting.
As a result, we bounced from daycare to daycare until we could find one that had openings, let alone fit our needs. We settled on in-home daycares but were never fully satisfied. We finally found what was needed at Cox Children’s Center.
The Cox Children’s Center has six classrooms including our school age summer camp/after-school program. Each classroom is home to a specific age group. You can click on the links below to get more information on each room.
