Mission
At The Childrens Center of Western North Carolina (TCC), we are dedicated to creating an inclusive, playful, and nuturing environment where children can grow and learn together in acceptance of one another.
Program accomplishments
- The Childrens Center of Western North Carolina is a 5-star, licensed childcare and early education facility, earning 15 out of 15 quality points. In 2024, our early childhood educators provided high-quality learning experiences, developmental enrichment, and compassionate care to 72 children between ages one and four. We voluntarily maintained low staff- to-child ratios to support individualized attention and meet each young childs developmental needs.Expenses $678,268 · grants $21,591 · revenue $516,371
- This year, our program faced an unexpected challenge when Hurricane Helene led to a four- week closure of our facility. Despite significant interruptions to our operations, our team worked hard to reopen under an emergency operating plan that prioritized child safety and continuity of care.
- We also made several investments in our program, including adopting the state-approved Experience Early Learning Curriculum. Our most significant investment, however, remains our dedicated team. We continued to meet the requirements for the NC Stabilization Grant funding, enabling us to provide enhanced compensation to our employees. By offering competitive wages and benefits, The Childrens Center is recognized within the field for exceptional staff longevity. Three teachers celebrated 10 or more years of service, two marked 15 or more years, and our Assistant Director celebrated her 26th year with our program.
