Tippecanoe Child Care Wabash Landing opened
  its doors in September of 2002, as the result of
  collaboration between Greater Lafayette Public
  Transportation Corporation (CityBus) and Tippecanoe
  County Child Care, Inc. (TCCC). Grants received by
  both organizations from a number of sources created
  the first TCCC center in West Lafayette.  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, fulfilling CityBus’s
  goal.  It is licensed to serve 78 children ages 6 weeks
  through 6 years, opening 16 slots for infants and
  toddlers, which are in short supply in this
  community.  Therefore, it served TCCC’s goals as
  well.  Tippecanoe Child Care Wabash Landing is
  located in a newly redeveloped retail and residential
  area in the hub of the county, and is a source of pride
  for TCCC as well as CityBus, and the Greater
  Lafayette and West Lafayette communities.
