West Haven Child Development Center

The West Haven Child Development Center was founded in 1978 and is celebrating over 40 years of service to the community. The program began with 45 children in three classrooms in Forest Elementary School in the Allingtown section of West Haven. In April of 1979, the agency was relocated to a newly renovated building at 201 Noble Street where it remains today. The program expanded to sixty children in July of that year. It originally served children ages 3-5 all day. Currently the program serves 170 children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, full and part day. Almost one-third of the children have identified special needs.
