Childcare Program

This is a licensed and accredited childcare program for children ages 2 - 6. Our program serves low-income families where all parents in the household must be working full-time or working part-time and in school part-time. We do allow a small percentage of our enrollment to be children of full-time students. Our fees are determined on a sliding scale based on family size and income. While providing care in our center costs about $205/week, most of our parents pay $40 - $45/week.

Our program is licensed by the State of Indiana and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). 

For enrollment information, contact Traci Mehay, Childcare Director, at (812) 339-3429 or mcumchild@bloomington.in.us.
