UCSF at Marilyn Reed Lucia Child Development Center

Welcome to UCSF at Marilyn Reed Lucia Child Development Center!

For over 15 wonderful years, we have been a cherished part of the communities in Hoover, Vestavia, Vestavia Hills, and Birmingham. We take pride in being one of the first centers in Birmingham to achieve NAEYC reaccreditation, a testament to our commitment to quality education and care.

At our center, we believe in the power of hands-on learning! Our dedicated teachers create exciting activities that spark curiosity and engage children with the curriculum. Here’s a glimpse of what we offer:

• STEM Lab: A fun space where little minds can explore and develop critical thinking skills through science, technology, engineering, and math.
• Unique Outdoor Classrooms: These special areas introduce children to the wonders of science and nutrition through the joy of gardening.
• Mud Kitchen: A place where children can unleash their creativity and become messy scientists, experimenting with nature and textures.
• Reading Nook: A cozy corner designed to foster a love of literacy, where stories come alive and imaginations soar.

We invite you to come visit us! Our center is conveniently located just off of I-459 and Acton Road, making it easy for families to drop by and see the magic happening here. We can’t wait to welcome you and your little ones into our vibrant community!
