The NIC Children's Center is a nationally accredited, dual-function early childhood program that
serves as NIC's Child Development Lab School while providing high-quality child care services to
NIC's students, faculty and staff. Our mission is to provide a high-quality lab setting for NIC's
students to obtain the skills necessary for working with young children in a
developmentally appropriate manner, while also providing an accessible and affordable student
service that enables NIC's students to attend classes and meet their educational goals. Our services
are prioritized for children of NIC students with 6 or more credits. Students taking 12 or more credits
receive a student discount on their child care tuition. We also serve children of NIC faculty and staff,
however slots are very limited due to the prioritization of student's children when enrolling from the
waiting list. The Center is open fall and spring semesters only and is closed during non-school days
(such as winter and spring break). Current contact, rate and wait list information is available on our
