Child Care Centers and Resources

Relocating to Baltimore with your family? Several child care centers partner with Johns Hopkins families:

• The Johns Hopkins Child Care and Early Learning Center is designed to serve full-time faculty and staff members, full-time day students, house staff and fellows of the Johns Hopkins University schools of medicine, nursing and public health, and full-time employees of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Health System. The center offers full-time and drop-in care to children age 6 weeks to 5 years.
• The Homewood Early Learning Center accommodates children ages 10 weeks through preschool. The center is open to community members, but priority admission is available for Johns Hopkins parents.
• The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Early Childhood Center serves a diverse mixed-income community of children and families who live and/or work in the East Baltimore Development area and beyond.
• With a focus on play-based, child-initiated learning, Downtown Baltimore Child Care provides early education and child care to children ages 12 weeks through preschool.
• The Children of the World Co-op is a year-round playgroup for children ages 6 months to 4 years, with their parents or caregivers. Operating since 1989, the co-op serves the Johns Hopkins community and surrounding neighborhoods.
