Welcome to Tamien Child Care Center

A great place to learn, discover and grow!

The Tamien Early Educational Center was opened in November 1995. It is conveniently located in a major transportation hub at the Tamien Caltrain and Light Rail Stations, with services by VTA bus lines 25 and 82, near Highway 87 and off the Alma Avenue exit. The center has plenty of free parking and is ideal for easy drop off and pick up of children.

The center is committed to providing a stimulating, enriching and caring environment, that empower children to be confident, successful, life long learners. We achieve this with low teacher ratios along with a very low staff turn over rate, an engaging curriculum, strong parent partnerships and the highest commitment to quality. Tamien is proud to have achieved NAEYC accreditation and maintained this status since 1999.
