Tippecanoe Child Care Downtown

Opened in October 1998, this center was built close to the downtown bus depot to allow parents that need to use the buses for transportation, convenient access to child care. The space occupied by the center is leased from CityBus. Tippy Downtown is licensed for 78 children, ages 6 weeks through 6 years.

Tippecanoe Child Care Downtown is licensed by the Family Social Security Administration, Division of Family and Children, the State Board of Health, State Fire Marshall and the State Children’s Nutritionist.
