Tippecanoe Child Care East opened in February   1985 and is licensed by the Family and Social    Services Administration.   Recently our program re-located to 1840 South 18^th   street (the once Durgan Elementary School) and   currently we are providing child care services for ages   6 weeks to 5 years.   In 1995 our center became   Accredited by the National Association for the   Education of Young Children and we are proud to   continue this certification of high recognition.   In our Accredited programs you will find high quality   care that provides a safe and nurturing environment,   while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and   intellectual development of young children.
