Tiny Tots
Tiny Tots Development Center was founded in 1969 by Mrs. Helen Hicks. She started TTDC to serve her community of BIOPC working families who had limited options for childcare. Today Tiny Tots Development Center is run by two of Mrs. Hick’s daughters and has grown to four sites soon to be five as Tiny Tots Othello opens in the fall of 2021. With the support of our partner community organizations, we are able to provide a quality program to those who would not normally be able to afford it. Providing stimulating and enriching programs to at-risk, Low Socioeconomic Status, BIPOC ages 0-12 years old, providing a quality ECE and out of school time programs to families that they could not normally afford.
TTDC prepares the children they serve for kindergarten and beyond, through curriculum, activities, and community partnerships. We provide a quality early childhood education, with comprehensive health and family support services that promote the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, cultural, and linguistic development of children. We are here to support parents and guardians aiding wherever we can in their role as primary caregiver/educators, in meeting family goals and achieving success.
