About TEECH

TEECH’s goal is to provide support directly to preschools and childcare centers that meet the following requirements: 

• Privately owned
• NAEYC accredited
• Paths to Quality Level 4
• Accept Childcare Vouchers through CCDF
• Federal Food Program

Doing so will increase the quality and availability of affordable preschool and childcare centers throughout the State of Indiana. 

There is a significant need for more support and an organization that exclusively benefits preschools and childcare centers. The first 5 years of a child’s life are the most important for educational and emotional development. At TEECH, we intend to solve that problem and be proactive when it comes to educating children. 

95% of all funds go directly to schools that choose to participate in our grants and are distributed based on need. The operating cost of the 501(c)(3), Thode Endowment for Early Childhood, is extremely low at 5%. 

At TEECH, we are passionate about providing affordable, equitable, and quality childcare. We are stronger when we work together!
