The Middle Tyger Community Center has officially opened its $19 million childcare campus in Spartanburg County. The nonprofit organization hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Middle Tyger Education Center on August 14.
Expanding Childcare Services
The 42,000-square-foot childcare facility is located at 101 S. Danzler Road in Duncan and will serve 265 children ages 6 weeks through 4K. This is a significant expansion of the organization’s current capacity of 60 children.
The new campus provides dedicated spaces for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, including 17 classrooms, six observation rooms, therapy rooms, a multipurpose room, indoor and outdoor play areas, training/meeting rooms, and administrative offices.
Community Partnerships
Public and private partners contributed $19 million to construct the new child care campus. SEW-Eurodrive, a German-based industrial automation manufacturer, serves as the project’s lead donor. Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette spoke during the ribbon-cutting ceremony about the importance of public-private partnerships for addressing the childcare needs across South Carolina.
The Middle Tyger Education Center will begin welcoming children on August 19, with a staggered opening through Labor Day. For more information, visit middletyger.org/mtec.
