About
West Chester Area Day Care Center
Entering its 48th year, the West Chester Area Day Care Center is proud to be a leader in providing children a safe, nurturing child care environment combined with a top quality early education program. 
The Center is a partner agency of the United Way of Chester County.
The Center opened its doors in 1962 in space leased from the Chestnut Street Friends with five children, a social worker/director, three teachers, a cook, janitor and many dedicated volunteers. As more and more families learned about the Center, word spread through the community about the quality care and education it provided. In order to accommodate the increased number of children, in 1969 the Center moved to larger quarters at its current location on Nields Street. The land for the building was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wood, and an aggressive building campaign raised the funds needed to construct a specially designed home for the Center. Today, the West Chester Area Day Care Center continues to flourish and grow! Our "family" includes:
