Description: St. Philip’s Child Development Center
provides early childhood education for the Anacostia community in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. We are a licensed provider of exceptional infant care and early childhood education. In March 2013, St. Philips became nationally accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in both infant care and early childhood education. Additionally, our program serves the entire family by offering guidance in parenting skills, nutrition, child development and appropriate responsive behavior. We look forward to working with your family as we continue to give to the heart of our community – our children.
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.
