NSF Dahlgren’s Child Development Center provides full-time childcare for military families stationed at Dahlgren. Child Care is available for ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Weekly fees are based on family income. Drop-ins are accepted on a space-available basis. The CDC also certifies and trains childcare providers who reside on base.

The Dahlgren Child Development Program offers full-time care. Children are grouped according to age: infants, toddlers, twos, threes, fours and fives. The daily schedule is divided into active and quiet playtime and is designed to support the child's most important years of growth and learning. Children who stay at the centers will have the opportunity to establish and maintain friendships and become responsible for their actions through self-discipline. Art and music activities are offered as well as units on number recognition, holidays, seasons, health, safety and family structure, which allow children to develop language, math and social skills.
