The Platteville campus is located in Southwest Wisconsin's largest community, which has a rich history rooted in mining —particularly lead mining —dating back to the early 19th century.

The region offers excellent school systems, high-quality medical and hospital facilities, outstanding recreational opportunities, and vibrant businesses and industries. UW-Platteville serves as a cultural and educational center for the Tri-State region of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Children's Center was established in 1996 to provide children with a rich and caring environment. The center provides an atmosphere that promotes development of self-esteem, creativity, and an interest in exploring and discovering.

The mission of the Children's Center is to provide a high-quality, nationally accredited childcare service with education opportunities for children and families at a reasonable cost. The Children's Center staff members encourage children to grow and successfully learn in their individual way. Our curriculum nurtures children in all areas of development. Our philosophy is that young children grow and flourish in a positive, stimulating environment.

Our teachers facilitate play activities throughout the day which support children's natural desire for learning. In addition, children learn to be inquisitive, confident, and responsible, which are building blocks for future success.
