Description: TLC is a licensed child-care facility, and it is their goal to become accredited as well. The TLC philosophy is that quality child care is an educational activity, and the staff utilizes the Creative Curriculum as a framework informing their work with children. In addition to providing quality child care at reduced rates to IPFW students, staff, and faculty, the university’s agreement with TLC includes offering student employment opportunities and supervised student learning experiences (for students in education and other fields) at the facility.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
