Family Services offers a wealth of essential support services and resources to meet the various and diverse needs of UC San Francisco student families. Learn more below.
Student Back-Up Care Program
UCSF partners with Bright Horizons to provide high-quality back-up care when you need to be at school or work and your regular child or adult/elder care is unavailable. Students may access up to 10 back-up care days per academic year (July 1 through June 30), with zero co-pays.
UCSF Child Care Centers
UCSF Students receive first priority at our four on-site or near-site child care centers. Note: there is a wait pool; priority, at any level, does not guarantee placement.
Child Care Referral Service
Our experienced counselor will guide you through the often challenging and time-consuming process of finding care and will help identify options that best meet your family’s needs.
Sittercity / Years Ahead
Sittercity provides pre-screened resources for in-home everyday or occasional child care, pet care, elder care, housekeeping, and more. Years Ahead offers elder care planning and referrals. Web subscription service is free (a $180 value) for UCSF students.
Lactation Accommodation Program
Our Lactation Accommodation Program is dedicated to helping lactating UCSF individuals continue to comfortably provide milk after returning to school/work by offering access to clean and private lactation rooms, information on your rights, workshops, support groups, free supplies, and discounts on pump kits.
