Vivian Olum Child Development Center
Investing in the workforce behind the workforce!

Olum’s early childhood educators help UO families flourish

At UO, we understand that balancing work, teaching, and family life can be challenging for our faculty and staff. That is where Vivian Olum Child Development Center comes in—our dedicated and educated teachers care for the young children of UO faculty and staff so they can do all the amazing work that happens at UO. That's why we are excited about this opportunity to provide support for the professional development of our amazing teachers who allow our wonderful faculty and staff to excel in their academic and professional endeavors.


Vivian Olum teachers:

  • Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle 
  • Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn 
  • Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family 
  • Respect the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleague) 
  • Respect diversity in children, families, and colleagues 
  • Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect 


Pitch in today to help our teachers flourish!
