Department Overview
The Tribal Day Care provides a safe, stable environment where a child can learn, explore, create and play with the supervision of trained child care workers who are qualified by the State of Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services.

The Menominee Tribal Day Care Center exists to strengthen our children, their families and our culture through the provision of the child care service which offers a safe, warm, nurturing environment in which children can learn and grow.

The Respite Care Program is a specialized program for infants - 4 year old children.

Children may be referred to the Respite Care Program through:
  • Menominee County Human Services Department
