UF Early Childhood Collaboratory at Baby Gator provides high-quality early education to children of UF students, faculty, and staff. Our focus is developing the whole child while supporting families on campus. Additionally, UF ECC supports the University through site placement for interns, course assignment completion and volunteer hours for student, as well as research opportunities for faculty and graduate students. Early childhood education sets the foundation for social and academic success in life. Supporting UF ECC is an investment in the future of the Gator Nation.
