*The safety and health of the children and our staff are our first priority.
Our mission is to provide an educational, physically active, and nurturing environment for children while parents achieve healthy living and fitness goals.
We are fun-loving, kind-hearted, positive and nurturing quality caregivers and teachers in a clean, healthy, creative, active and interactive safe place. Our professional staff are infant/child CPR and first aid certified. Tyke Town Childcare programs are based on age-appropriate activities that motivate and encourage young children to be more physically active and promote healthy eating habits. Tyke Town activities include story time, arts, crafts, music and movement. Children can be in Tyke Town for up to three hours.
We are a drop-in care facility. This means there are no reservations and you may come in at any time. If Tyke Town has reached maximum capacity, we may ask you to wait a short period of time for a spot to open. We will do our best to accommodate all members while maintaining safety for all our Tyke Town children. *On your first visit, we ask you to only leave your child(ren) for 30 min to allow your child to ease into a new environment and meet new people. After seeing how your child responds to Tyke Town, we can visit about gradually increase your time up to our maximum of three hours. *

Policies and Procedures
Immunizations
Montana state law requires that every child enrolled in a childcare program must be up to date with their immunizations or provide proper documentation for a medical or religious exemption. Please update your child’s immunization record regularly. Eligibility for enrollment at Tyke Town requires each child to have current screening tests and immunizations according to the recommended schedule. Children must remain up to date on their immunizations to continue enrollment. If a child’s immunizations become overdue (by 15 days or more), parents or legal guardians will be provided with a note requiring them to set up an appointment and follow through with that appointment. A copy of the update will be placed in the child’s file. Immunization records will be reviewed every six months and as each child enrolls into the program.
Emergency Forms
Please fill out and return before your child is dropped off.
