Here you’ll find information about us including our NAEYC
accreditation, tours, student observations, and our food care
program.
The Children Center’s purpose is to create a community that
supports Sacramento State Students to build brighter futures by
providing high quality childcare, employment, and leadership
opportunities in a wholesome learning environment.
The Associated Students Inc Children’s Center is structured not
as an institution but rather as an extension of the family – a
support system existing in a home-oriented environment to meet a
child’s emotional, physical, intellectual and social growth
needs. We consider ourselves a family support service, dedicated
to nurturing healthy people.
We are an equal opportunity provider.
