The Child Care Center at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) is a warm, supportive environment for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years of age. Our services are available to benefits-eligible employees of DHMC.

The Child Care Center at DHMC offers a wide range of activities that provide social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. Children play in small groups with a low staff-to-child ratio.

We are 100 percent peanut- and nut-free, including products that may have been processed with nuts. We provide drinks and snacks; you provide your child's lunch.

Program philosophy

At Bright Horizons, our goal is to help children do more than learn — we want to cultivate the joy of learning. Our research-based World at Their Fingertips® curriculum meets children where they are developmentally; an emergent approach that enables teachers to take each child's interests and develop activities and projects that spark curiosity, create excitement, and build on individual talents and skills.
