Child Care on Campus

The Nancy W. Darden Child Development Center (NDCDC) is an early childhood model training facility for the Department of Child Development and Family Relations at East Carolina University.

NDCDC is open to the public and serves all children. We collaborate with Pitt County Public School System to serve children qualified for the NC Pre K Program. The NDCDC works with the Department of Social Services to support the subsidized child care reimbursement program.

NDCDC staff supervise undergraduate students as they use child development theory in adult-child interactions, developmental guidance strategies, and inclusive curriculum design.
