The Kalamazoo Drop-In Child Care Center (KDCCC), established in 1990, provides free, part-time child care for income-eligible families with children age six weeks through five years old.
KDCCC began as a mission project of the First Congregational Church, UCC (FCC). While we are housed in a church, we do not provide any religious instruction.
KDCCC has received a quality rating from Great Start to Quality, Michigan’s quality rating and improvement system for child care and preschool, preparing children to succeed in school and life.
Great Start to Quality rates the level of quality of all licensed and registered child care and preschool programs in Michigan.
“Making sure we provide children in our care with the best experience possible, is not only our job, it’s our privilege,” said Kathy McNinch, Executive Director. “By participating in Great Start to Quality, we earn recognition for our hard work. We also get ongoing support and training so we can keep improving the quality of care we provide.”
