Wake Forest University is supporting Winston-Salem’s littlest learners with a new educational endeavor. Construction on KinderCare at Wake Forest University is complete.

The employer-sponsored child care and early educational center is located at 1100 Reynolds Blvd., adjacent to the university’s Reynolda campus. It will provide infant through pre-K care to children aged six weeks to five years old.

Wake Forest faculty, staff, students, and employees who work full-time at a Wake Forest property will receive priority enrollment. University leaders call the facility’s completion a milestone — Provost Michelle Gillespie says the facility is a necessary way to support employees + attract and retain talent.

“This center will allow our colleagues and students to focus on their professional and academic pursuits with the peace of mind that their children are receiving excellent care.”

Doors will open to families as soon as the facility obtains full licensure, which is anticipated in September.
