UW-La Crosse Campus Child Center opens 4K registration for fall 2026 | The Locally Times
The School District of La Crosse and the university-run child center will launch a new 4K site this fall.
The UW-La Crosse Campus Child Center will convert its 4-year-old classroom into a district-partnered 4K site starting in the fall of 2026. This partnership integrates the university facility into the School District of La Crosse public education network. ## Registration Registration for the program is open to the public as of July 15, 2026. Parents may contact Ashley Franzo, the Campus Child Center director, at afranzo@uwlax.edu to request enrollment materials and application instructions. ## Curriculum Jodi Strong, a teacher currently employed in the center’s 4-year-old room, will oversee the 4K curriculum. The program uses play-based learning activities to meet the district’s existing 4K educational standards. ## Partnership History This agreement formalizes a previous arrangement where district staff visited the center to provide specialized educational services. The new status transitions the facility from a service-recipient to an official district-partnered site. ## Missing Information The university’s July 15 announcement does not specify the total number of available seats or the student-to-teacher ratio. Public records do not list the tuition structure, fee schedule, or transportation options for this location. The university marketing and communications office at 608.785.8487 has not provided these details as of July 17, 2026. ## Key Questions **How can I register my child for the new 4K program?** Registration is open to the community. Parents should contact Ashley Franzo at afranzo@uwlax.edu for enrollment information. **Who will be leading the 4K classroom at the center?** Jodi Strong, a teacher currently working in the center’s 4-year-old room, will oversee the program.
