The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and UNC Hospitals opened the University Child Care Center in August, 1998, and contracted Victory Village Day Care Center to manage the facility. The center is located near the William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education, three miles east of the UNC-Chapel Hill campus.

The 10,500 square foot facility can accommodate 120 children. The center operates eleven classrooms, each designed to support age appropriate care and activities. The center also has a large multi-purpose room and an on-site kitchen. Outdoor play areas allow children to develop their large motor skills on a variety of equipment.
