Technology Childcare Centers

MIT has long been dedicated to providing a supportive workplace that promotes work-life balance. Back in 1972, we identified high-quality childcare as a key component of that mission, and we established MIT's first full-day childcare program—the Technology Childcare Center (TCC) at Eastgate graduate-student housing complex. Today, we operate five TCC centers—three on the MIT Cambridge campus (The David H. Koch Childcare Center, Kendall Childcare Center, and Stata Childcare Center) and one near MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington (Lincoln Laboratory Childcare Center)—accommodating a combined total of 380 infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

All TCC centers are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC accreditation means that TCC centers meet the highest standards for quality early education and care, as defined by NAEYC, the nation's largest and most prestigious professional organization in this field.
