Kalamazoo Drop-In Child Care Center

Mission: To provide income eligible families with children ages 0-5 years, free, part-time, educationally rich child care, parent education, and support.

The Kalamazoo Drop-In Child Care Center (KDCCC) was established to provide free, part-time child care for income-eligible families with children age six weeks through five years old.  The objectives of our service are to enable parents with young children to more rapidly negotiate the maze of appointments and services often required to obtain employment, permanent housing, register for school or attend classes and achieve eventual self-sufficiency. We also give parents a “healthy” break from the demands of parenting. We have created a warm, safe, and supportive environment for children and their parents.

We provide low-income families, with pre-school-aged children, the opportunity for optimal growth and development in a safe and structured environment, primarily through free part-time child care, parent education and support.
