Meet the TCC Executive Director

Gina Tzizik

"It's exciting to work with the MIT community, where people are looking for very rich programming for their children, above and beyond finding them a safe place to spend the day. Our parents and families, who are unusually well-informed in the sciences, want to talk about the latest early childhood research and studies. They have a vision of what high-quality child care should be—and a commitment to helping us make this vision a reality.

"The quality of the relationships we have with our families is what makes it possible for us to challenge the children and support them. Our emergent curriculum has well-defined core goals yet is very flexible, changing when the children change. It's creative, too, so my art background has been useful. The flexibility lets us work one-on-one with the children to address their needs and interests. By getting to know each child as an individual, we help them develop their own sense of self."
