Admissions

Eligibility

Children of employees of the General Services Administration (GSA) receive priority placement.  Children of other Federal agency employees receive second priority.  Grandchildren of GSA or federal agency employees are also eligible, provided the employee is the legal guardian or primary caretaker of the grandchild. Other children may be admitted if space is available.

The Center gives siblings of enrolled children of GSA employees, followed by siblings of enrolled children of other federal employees, preference over new applicants.

Hours of Operation

The Center operates from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., five days per week, Monday through Friday, year-round. The Center is closed for Federal holidays and four other days per year for in-service training of our staff, normally the Thursday and Friday preceding the Memorial Day holiday in May, and the Thursday and Friday preceding the Columbus holiday in October.  As needed, at the discretion of the Director, and with appropriate notice, the Center may close early for staff meetings, training or other Center needs.

Non-discriminatory Policy

The US Kids Child Development Center admits children and employs personnel without regard to race, color, sex, gender, religion, ethnic or national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law.  The Center will make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures when such modifications are necessary to afford its goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations to parents or children with disabilities, unless such modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the Center’s goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations.
