The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma has significantly expanded its childcare and community resources with the recent completion of the Kickapoo Child Care Center and FEMA Shelter in McLoud. The project included the renovation of the existing ‘Arrow Building’ to serve as the new Childcare Administration offices and a modern Kitchen/Food Preparation area, enhancing the tribe’s ability to support young children and their families.
In addition to the renovations, the project introduced a state-of-the-art concrete dome structure, designed as a dual-purpose facility. This new structure serves as both a FEMA-rated shelter, providing a safe haven during severe weather, and an expanded childcare and multipurpose center. It offers educational and recreational spaces for children aged 6 weeks to 13 years, aligning with the tribe’s mission to deliver high-quality care and developmental support.
