Description: As a not-for-profit agency serving the Northwest Indiana community, our mission is to provide a quality learning program and affordable childcare services for families with infants through six years of age.
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.
