The Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) Child Care Center 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 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.

Mission statement
Bright Horizons is trusted by families around the world to provide care and education for their children. In more than 1,000 child care centers in the United States and beyond, we offer the highest-quality care and learning that delivers both the solution working parents need, and the classroom experiences children deserve to get ready for school and become enthusiastic learners for life.
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.
