University of Washington Children's Center at Harborview

Welcome to University of Washington Children's Center at Harborview!

At BeKare Child Development Center, we are proud to have been a part of the Hoover, Vestavia, Vestavia Hills, and Birmingham communities for over 15 wonderful years! We were one of the first centers in Birmingham to achieve NAEYC reaccreditation, a testament to our commitment to quality education and care.

What Makes Us Special?

Our dedicated teachers are passionate about creating a fun and engaging learning environment. They use hands-on activities that spark curiosity and excitement in our little learners. Here’s a glimpse of what we offer:

• STEM Lab: A place where children can explore and develop their critical thinking skills through exciting experiments and projects.
• Outdoor Classrooms: Unique spaces where kids can learn about science and nutrition by getting their hands dirty in the garden.
• Mud Kitchen: A fun area where children can unleash their creativity and become messy scientists, experimenting with textures and materials.
• Reading Nook: A cozy corner that encourages a love for books and storytelling, helping to foster literacy skills from an early age.

We invite you to come visit us! Our center is conveniently located just off of I-459 and Acton Road, making it easy for families to drop by and see all the fun and learning happening here!
