Welcome
The essence of the Booker T. Washington Child Development Center is our dedication to serving young children and their families. We understand that parents are the primary educators and role models for their children. All of our programs support parents as they pursue social, economic, and educational achievement.
We offer two primary programs: a free Head Start program which operates from 8:15 AM to 2:30 PM daily with the option of an Extended Day and a tuition based Preschool program for ages 3-5 with some scholarships available. Our programs have received a five-star rating from First Things First, their highest rating. Our Head Start program is offered at four locations in the Eastlake and Garfield communities. Extended Day and Preschool are available at our main campus at 1519 E. Adams Street.

Giving Tuesday, Dec 3, is a day that encourages people to do good. It was created in response to the commercialization and consumerism in the post Thanksgiving season.
We encourage you to share the idea and to see what you can do by giving time to a worthwhile cause or just helping a neighbor.
We hope that you will consider BTW in your plan. You could call us to find out about volunteering opportunities or perhaps consider a small tax-deductible donation to aid our program.
You can make a donation on-line by clicking the Donate button below.
