At TCC Lincoln Laboratory (TCC Linc), our children learn through play and hands-on activities in an environment that encourages exploration. Our excellent teacher-child ratio lets us observe each child as an individual, and our emergent curriculum helps children develop skills and knowledge by building on their personal interests. We partner closely with our diverse community of parents to bring a rich variety of cultures and experiences into the classroom.

Our center represents a unique collaboration between MIT, Lincoln Laboratory, and Minuteman Regional High School in Lexington, MA. Located on the Minuteman campus and surrounded by woods, the center is both spacious and cozy inside, with superb indoor and outdoor playspaces.

• Infant, toddler, and preschool programs
• Full- and part-week schedules: 5 days, 3 days, and 2 days
• Parent support and resources
• Capacity: 111 children

Parent participation at TCC Linc is welcomed and encouraged. Our parents often visit the center for lunch, and the parent activity group sponsors enrichment activities throughout the year. Parents and teachers partner to create a smooth transition for children new to TCC Linc and for those moving into new classrooms during the year.

TCC Lincoln Laboratory has achieved the highest quality of services as determined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and is NAEYC accredited.
