MIT provides childcare services to its community through four Technology Childcare Centers (TCC)—three on the Cambridge campus and one in Lexington near MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. Although each is distinct in its location and staff, all five centers offer the same program and are part of one cohesive childcare system dedicated to excellence. We work closely with parents to develop holistic, nurturing, and individualized growth experiences for every child.
