About

Churubusco Child Care Center has been serving the Whitley, Noble, and Allen Counties, since 1991 providing exceptional care to all children and families enrolled. In 1999, the Center added on to our facility to care for our growing enrollment. The addition included an activity gym, a commercial kitchen, two additional classrooms, and staff lounge. Our facility can now accommodate 151 children. In 2014, we installed a secure keypad entry to help keep our children and staff safe during unforeseen circumstances in today’s changing world.

We use Creative Curriculum as our educational resource and provide many opportunities for children to grow in developmental areas such as fine and gross motor skills, socialization, language, pre-academics, and independence. We are the latch-key provider for Smith-Green Community Schools, offering bus transportation to and from school, as well as, extracurricular activities during the school year. We also provide homework assistance and a summer enrichment program for school age children.

Mission/Vision

The Churubusco Child Care Center is a nonprofit organization providing a nurturing, learning, and safe environment for children at an affordable cost to families.

We encourage learning and exploring for every child.  Each child will be treated with kindness and will be respected as an individual with feelings and thoughts of his or her own.  Our goal is to provide programs that recognize and support uniqueness and self-esteem for each child in a setting that is structured, but allows freedom where children can create, imagine, explore, and discover their surroundings and develop confidence, responsibility, and positive self-image.
