Washington Hospital has partnered with Kidango to develop and operate the onsite childcare center for children of hospital employees, medical staff and volunteers. The center is located on the third floor of Washington Hospital's Washington West facility. The 8,540 square-foot facility is open from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and accommodates approximately 70 children, newborns to age six. Washington Hospital employees have enrollment priority.

The design of the facility assures a developmentally sound environment for children, a supportive workplace for teachers and a welcoming environment for parents and guardians of the children enrolled at the center. The center includes an infant area, pre-school area, transition area, office, conference area, kitchen and laundry capabilities. In addition to the indoor area, the childcare center has an outdoor area with appropriate play structures and a nature-walk path. This center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children for its quality programming, safe environment and professional staff.
