Our History

Our Tribal Early Childhood Education Center was established in 2011, we are comfortably located inside of Emmanuel United Church of Christ. Our program provides quality, loving care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children. The staff recognizes the importance of balanced growth, so they have been trained to provide opportunities for mental, physical, and emotional growth through a variety of creative experiences. Our curriculum and hands-on method will challenge, build confidence, and encourage our children to learn and explore at their own speed.
