Description: EOA Children’s House was founded in 1978 as an organization providing services and care to children under the age of five that have been abused or neglected. Seeing that the need was larger than could be served in our “little blue house” in Fayetteville, the Pat Walker Center for Children opened in 2011. This doubled the number of children receiving services to 42 children. In 2014, EOA Children’s House expanded to its full capacity in the Pat Walker Center for Children, serving 95 children.
EOA Children’s House is the nation’s largest long-term center for early childhood abuse prevention and treatment and the only center of this kind in Arkansas. It is located in north Springdale to centrally serve both Benton County and Washington County.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
