E.L. Cord Foundation Child Care Center

Our Mission

Through a quality child care program, TMCC's E.L. Cord Foundation  Child Care Center will provide care and education based on best practices.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the development of the whole child. Our curriculum is designed to focus on the creative, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social growth of each individual.
