THE BEST VALUE ON THE PENINSULA!

Nonprofit child care and preschool • NAEYC accredited • Sliding-scale tuition • Multiple locations

Wouldn't it be wonderful if every child had access to the quality early education needed to succeed in schooland in life? We think so. Much more than a daycare, Downtown Hampton Child Development Center is a quality preschool where families pay based on income and need. Our NAEYC-accredited programs place us in the top 7% of child care in the country.

We serve tidewater Virginia families of all backgrounds and income levels from Hampton, Newport News, York County, Poquoson, and other parts of Hampton Roads, as well as military families from Langley AFB, Ft. Eustis and beyond. Contact us or drop by anytime for a personal tour! We're also a United Way partner agency, giving our supporters yet another way to help the children.

Help Needed
For Our New Home

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we must leave our Battle Road building late this summer. As we transition to new facilities, we must leave behind critical equipment owned by our former landlord. The suddenness of this unanticipated move means we need to replace these items (cribs, rugs, strollers...)
by September 1, 2009.

Our children need your help now
more than ever—you can make a difference by donating funds to cover the purchase of these items. View our needs list here and find out how to donate today.
