Welcome to NASA Goddard Child Development Center (GCDC)!
At NASA GCDC, our dynamic learning environment allows young children to learn through discovery. Each classroom has a variety of materials arranged throughout twelve learning centers. The centers include but are not limited to dramatic play, blocks, literacy, library, listening station, science, math, sensory, art, technology, media, manipulatives, music, and movement. Our exceptional teachers plan and facilitate a program that offers a balance of both teacher-directed activities and child-inspired activities.
Through our partnership with NASA and strong parent support, we can provide a program that excels in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). NASA GCDC is a real learning community where learning comes to life in a way that’s meaningful to young children.
GSFC established NASA GCDC on the concept that high-quality childcare services should be affordable to all parents. With nearly 50 years of services in the NASA Goddard community, we are committed to satisfying the diverse needs of families within the community.
See for yourself, NASA GCDC is a place of excellence for young children!
