Tuition rates
The University of Idaho Children’s Center (UICC) is committed to providing high-quality care to children of U of I students and employees. Families from the Palouse region without a U of I affiliation may also apply, though priority is given to student and employee families on the waitlist.
Due to high demand, there is often a waitlist for available spots. Please note that all new enrollment offers are for full-time care only (Monday through Friday).
