Our Mission
The Transportation Children’s Center (TCC) has been serving the needs of
working parents and their children since 1986. Thanks to our safe, attractive
facility and outstanding staff of childcare professionals, parents can
have complete confidence that their children are getting the best possible
care. Our role is to not only take care of children, but also to provide an
environment in which they will attain the emotional, social, physical, and
intellectual strengths they need to flourish in the world around them. As a
parent, you can go to work knowing that here, children are safe and in a
program designed to help them become happy, peaceful, giving adults with much
to contribute to society.

NAEYC Accreditation
TCC has been fully accredited by the National Association for the Education of

internal self-study is voluntary, and NAEYC’s standards reflect the latest
research and best practice in early childhood education and development. The process
also includes an external professional review to verify compliance with the
criteria for high-quality early childhood programs. TCC has been found to be in
substantial compliance with the requisite criteria.
Our Professional Staff
We carefully select our teachers for their strong backgrounds in early childhood
education, their diverse experience working with young children, as well as
their warm and caring natures. All of our teachers are certified by
Massachusetts Early Education and Care (EEC), and hold an associate’s, bachelor’s,
or master’s degree. Our staff is the fundamental resource that allows us to
provide high-quality services to our children and families. We are proud of our
ability to retain these dedicated, experienced teachers and administrators. At
present, almost half of TCC’s staff has worked here for more than 10 years. Thanks to their commitment to the field and to
the Center, our children’s hearts and minds flourish. Additionally, student
interns majoring in education at the college level bring fresh resources and
ideas to our classrooms.
