Overview
The Child Care Center promotes positive emotional, social, and physical development and provides a safe, stimulating, and fun experience for children.
Inclusivity: Staff work closely with parents to ensure that children of all ability levels can fully participate in program activities. All staff are trained annually in a variety of special education and accommodation courses specifically for this purpose. If your child has special needs, a disability, or developmental delay, please let us know how we can best accommodate the needs of your child.
Eligibility: The Child Care Center is available for children between the ages of 2.5 and 12 years old. Children must be fully toilet-trained and wearing underwear (no Pull-ups).
Wellness: Children who are ill on arrival will not be admitted. Any child who displays signs of illness during their visit at the Center must be picked up immediately by the parent or the parent’s emergency contact.
Other Information
Snack: The Center does not provide food. Time is available for a morning and afternoon snack when provided by parents. We ask that you refrain from packing any nuts or nut products.
Licensing Status: The Child Care Center is licensed by the DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE). The license is posted in the reception area of the Child Care Center.
Staff: The Center is staffed by a director and an assistant director, with support of aides. All staff and aids are CPR and first-aid certified and comply with OSSE background check regulations and continuing education requirements.
