The University of Mary Washington has partnered with KinderCare, a child care facility located on the Mary Washington Hospital campus, to subsidize the cost of child care for infant, toddler, and preschool age children of UMW employees. The UMW Foundation is providing funding for this program as part of their effort to support the faculty and staff of the University.
This initiative is a project whereby KinderCare will offer up to fourteen child care slots to University of Mary Washington employees at a mutually agreed upon reduced rate. UMW will pay up to $1200 per year for those enrolled through this program. In addition, the $50 registration fee will not be charged to UMW employees.
KinderCare is one of the premier child care facilities in the region and as such, one of the most difficult to place a child. The UMW slots will be offered as they become available via vacancies at KinderCare. To be considered for this program, interested employees must submit the attached Child Care Subsidy Application to the UMW Office of Human Resource. Please see the application instructions below.
