Miami Valley Child Development Centers is southwest Ohio’s Head Start agency. For over 55 years, we’ve been providing free and low-cost early learning and child care to children from age 6 weeks to 5. As important, our Family Support Specialists, Home Visitors, and Coaches partner with families to help them become financially stable and self-supporting.
In most cases, families must earn 100% of the Federal Poverty Level or less to enroll. Children experiencing homelessness or who are in foster or kinship care also are eligible. In some cases, children with disabilities may qualify.
We have 40+ locations in Montgomery, Clark and Madison counties.
