National Child Research Center (NCRC Preschool)

Welcome to the National Child Research Center (NCRC Preschool)!

At NCRC, we take pride in being the oldest continuously operating preschool in the heart of the District of Columbia. Our preschool is a warm and inviting place where children can learn and grow through play-based activities that are centered around their unique needs and interests.

A Community of Families

We believe that every child deserves a nurturing environment, and that’s why we focus on creating a family-oriented community. Here, children from all backgrounds come together to explore, learn, and make friends.

Inclusive Learning for Everyone

NCRC is dedicated to including all children, especially those who may need a little extra support. We adapt our programs to ensure that every child can thrive and enjoy their preschool experience.

Learning Together

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We encourage everyone in our community to share their ideas, traditions, and talents. By learning from one another, we create a rich tapestry of experiences that benefits all our children.

Join us at NCRC Preschool, where every day is an adventure in learning and friendship!
