Early Learning Center
The Mission of the Salish Kootenai College Early Learning Center is to provide professional quality care and education 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 Early Learning Center 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 Learning Center is licensed with the State of Montana for 41 children, 6 weeks-8 years of age.
Enrollment forms must be completed by the child’s legal guardian prior to admission to the Early Learning Center. These forms are available at the Early Learning Center. Important information required includes: emergency contact persons with phone numbers, a current immunization record, any known allergies or conditions, child care contract, and a USDA Food program form. The Center also accepts Tribal Block Grant and State Best Beginnings Scholarship program pay. The hours of operation are 7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, following the SKC academic calendar. Visitors and volunteers are welcomed at the SKC Early Learning Center.
