United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians · CHILD CARE
Henry Lee Doublehead Child Development Center
Tribally operated child care center in Tahlequah, established in 2006, accepting children 6 weeks to 4 years old, open Monday–Friday 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. It is a certified 2-star facility contracted with OKDHS and several tribal subsidy programs. The pre-enrollment form lists weekly rates by age (for example, full time $190 for 0–12 months, $168 for 13–24 months, $157.50 for 25–48 months) and accepts private pay, DHS subsidy or tribal subsidy.
Who's eligible
Open to All
The page describes the center's mission as child care "for community children" and names no tribal-membership requirement; the pre-enrollment form offers private pay alongside DHS and tribal subsidies. Enrollment depends on classroom space: the pre-enrollment form places the child on a wait list, and it stays active for six months.
