Description: Tucson families are invited to register their children now for this unique childcare opportunity with Southern Arizona's largest school district.
High quality affordable childcare and expert instruction in early learning are now available to Tucson families through TUSD's new Infant & Early Learning Centers.
Tucson families are invited to enroll infants and children through five years of age.
Our Infant & Early Learning Centers foster positive relationships among children and adults. We provide multiple approaches to serve all learning styles. Our curriculum promotes social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development. At our centers, learning takes place in a safe and healthy environment.
The TUSD Infant & Early Learning Centers provide excellent care for our community's young children. The centers were developed to provide quality care to the children of TUSD employees, and now that same opportunity is being provided to all families of the Tucson area.
Our east and westside centers provide excellent care for infants and young children.
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.
