"[To see] a model early childhood program, do a classroom observation at DHCDC. As one of the highest rated programs in Virginia, DHCDC is a 'shining star' for the Peninsula!"
- Ivy Mitchell, Smart Beginnings Virginia Peninsula


Top-Rated Preschool
Much more than a daycare, Downtown Hampton Child Development Center is a quality preschool that engages children through an enriching, play-based curriculum and degreed teachers. Our NAEYC-accredited program places us in the top 7% of child care centers in the country, and our four-star rating
ties us as the best-rated child care center in Hampton and one of the highest in the state.

Affordable Child Care
Best of all, we'll help you pay for this amazing early childhood experience
our sliding-scale tuition rate is based on family income and need.

Infants to Pre-K
As a private nonprofit with fully licensed facilities, we serve children under age 5 from 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 children on the Virginia Peninsula by donating and volunteering, or enroll your child in this top-quality preschool
