Child Care Center
The Mission of the Salish Kootenai College Childcare Center is to provide professional quality care for the whole child and their family as we nourish healthy values and responsibility while upholding the mission of Salish Kootenai College. We see SKC Childcare as a dynamic place of wonder, curiosity, and engagement where young children, their families, cultures, and communities are valued and respected as integral pieces in the tapestry of Salish Kootenai College. Located just north of the student housing area, the SKC Childcare Center is licensed with the State of Montana for 41 children, 2-12 years of age.
