Welcome to Te Whare Kōhungahunga o UC | Early Childhood Learning Centre (ECLC), the University of Canterbury’s Early Years Care and Education centre.
We accommodate children up to six years old, and accept enrolments from UC students, staff and members of the wider community. We are uniquely placed at the heart of the UC Ilam campus, and offer short-day care (up to 7 hours a day), or long-day care between 7.30am to 5.30pm. The Centre is open Monday to Friday for the whole year, except for about two weeks around Christmas and New Year.
Children at ECLC are in a privileged position to connect with, and tap into the resources and expertise of the University to support their learning and development.
