Immediate Preschool Openings at NIH Childcare Centers

Did you know there are IMMEDIATE Preschool openings for children ages 2-5 at the NIH Childcare Centers? Did you know you can register your child today with a later desired date of enrollment and change it once you know more about returning to work? Did you know once you have a due date, you can register for the NIH Childcare Waitlist?

You can register for the NIH Child Care Wait List online by visiting the NIH Childcare Centers webpage at https://www.ors.od.nih.gov/pes/dats/childcare/centers/Pages/centers.aspx​.

At this site, you can also check out the "Top 10 Things You Need to Know About the NIH Childcare Waitlist" webinar, as well as, the Frequently Asked Questions link for information on the waitlist, the enrollment process, and the three NIH-sponsored centers located in Montgomery County.

The NIH offers quality, competitively priced childcare options for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years at three different locations: two on the Bethesda campus and one on Executive Boulevard in Rockville. At the above link, you can learn about each center's curriculum, hours, location, fees and meal options before you select which centers you would like to have on your child's profile. Now is the time to explore these quality options by contacting a center (or all three) to schedule a virtual tour.

Already on the NIH Childcare Waitlist? Take a few minutes to make sure your desired date of enrollment and center preferences are up to date to avoid a decline. Update your profile by emailing the Waitlist Manager at brichmon@adventisthealthcare.com​.

If you have any questions, please visit the Child and Family Programs website https://www.childfamilycare.ors.nih.gov, or contact the Program Manager, Ms. Linda Owen at 301-827-3250.
