CHILDREN
Each ECDC NIH Center serves children of diverse economic and ethnic backgrounds ages six weeks through six years at the On Campus facility and six weeks through 12 years at the Off Campus ECDC location.
Children at ECDC benefit socially and intellectually from being in a multi-cultural environment which allows them to learn respect and appreciation for people of different countries and backgrounds.
Our centers provide breakfast, lunch and snacks that are both kid-friendly and nutritious. Fresh fruit and low-fat milk are provided at EVERY meal.

Education is a priority at ECDC for all ages. In order to maintain quality personnel, ECDC offers education scholarships to staff members to further their knowledge and expertise.
