East 10th Children & Youth Center

East Tenth Children & Youth Center is an accredited early learning center in east Indianapolis. The Center is an outreach initiative of East Tenth United Methodist Church, in response to a need for a safe place where the children and youth could go to learn and grow. They offer an income-based sliding scale for tuition costs and are proud to serve a diverse population.

The mission at the East 10th center is to provide a safe place where the spiritual, emotional, educational, and physical needs of children, youth, and their families are responded to in a holistic approach. They offer a variety of programs:

Early Learning Childcare Center provides childcare for infants and children ages 6 weeks to five years old. The center provides quality childcare, educational activities, nutritious meals, inter-generational activities, and a chance to learn and grow in a safe environment to all children.

Summer Days for Youth provides an all-day camp, which focuses on academic enrichment, computer classes, art programs, recreational activities, and field trips. The #1 goal for summer is personal development.

A before and after school program provides care for school-age children from neighboring schools. They provide transportation to & from school and all-day care during breaks and holidays. Their focus is on tutoring, homework, recreational & service opportunities, and drug prevention to help their youth become successful, well-rounded students.

Thank you for helping us continue to support East 10th!
