Newcomb Children's Center

Thank you for considering Newcomb Children's Center (NCC) for your child's care. We base our program on the belief that every child is an individual and should be treated as a special and unique person. Our program is designed to help each child grow and develop at their own pace. We encourage children to choose from the array of planned, developmentally appropriate activities we offer. We place special emphasis on learning through play.

Our schedules include planned activities for emotional, social, physical and cognitive growth. Both active and quiet types of activities are available to the children throughout the day.  Rest and nap time are a part of the afternoon schedule. Quality meals and snacks are served to the children daily. Our main goal is to provide high quality childcare in an easily accessible location at a reasonable price.

Newcomb Children's Center is located on Tulane's uptown campus and offers programs for children twelve months to five years of age.

Newcomb Children’s Center’s hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m to 4:30 p.m. Children will not be admitted before 8 a.m. The After School program runs from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The After School program follows the University’s Academic calendar and is not in session during the summer session or other academic recess and holiday periods. The After School program is staffed by teachers and student workers.  

Please note the center will have periodic early closure for staff meetings and staff development. Parents and families will receive reminders for the days on which the center will close early or will be closed.
