Our story

Little hands, big hearts, since 1980.

We started with one simple belief: children flourish when they feel safe, known, and free to be themselves. Four decades of Richmond families have proven it true.

A neighborhood program built on trust and warmth.

Country Day Care Center was built to be the kind of place where parents feel at ease leaving their children: unhurried, warm, and grounded in genuine care.

For more than forty years, Richmond families have returned — first with infants, then with toddlers, then sending older kids to after school. Every child is known here. Every family belongs.
