Child Care Center Programs

Child Care Boy

Programs

Infant (6-weeks to 18-months)

The infant program provides a loving and nurturing environment for children. This program allows staff to help each child develop a sense of security in their environment.

Toddler (18-months to 3-years)

The toddler program is designed to accommodate the development of self-help skills. Each child is introduced to new and exciting sensory experiences. A consistent program of developmentally appropriate activities helps nurture a positive "can-do" attitude.

Preschool (3 to 5-years)

The preschool program offers a variety of hands-on activities and experiences. Through play, children create, explore, and pretend. Planned activities and consistent daily schedules are balanced with free time to create a developmentally appropriate setting that enhances the preschooler's love of learning.

A School Readiness Program is part of the preschool for children who will be entering kindergarten the following year. Using the Get Set for School program children will participate in multi-sensory lessons and activities with a focus on language, literacy and math in a small group setting facilitated by the preschool teachers.

Special Programs

Inclusion

We partner with Nevada Early Intervention Services to include children with special needs in the child care setting. This program enriches your child's care and educational experience. Children learn to accept individual differences in others while creating lasting friendships.

Lab School

The E.L. Cord Child Care Center is a lab school that provides an opportunity for certain TMCC college classes to observe children in the care setting. Students may come to the Center to observe children and/or the environment for class assignments.
