Lehigh Valley Children's Center believes that every family deserves access to high-quality early childhood education. From six weeks old to 12 years of age, LVCC offers programming for children of all ages.

High-Quality Early Education Since 1970
All of our centers participate in Pennsylvania's Keystone STARS, continuously working toward the highest quality standards for each program. A Keystone STARS designation informs families that their children are in a safe, respectful environment in which they are learning new things every day to support their current and future successes in school and in life. With over 30 centers throughout four counties, LVCC will help you find high-quality child care near you in the Lehigh Valley.

Our infant classrooms are flexible and adaptable, allowing you to customize your child’s schedule and routine.

ITCS
In an ITCS Classroom, you can expect to find the same high-quality education that families have come to expect with LVCC. This new environment for children up to 3 years of age offers lower child-staff ratios and provides stability/continuity of care as children remain with their caregivers throughout their time in the program. The ITCS program is subsidized by Child Care Works for eligible infants and toddlers, providing care at no cost to the enrolled families.
Children enrolled in LVCC ITCS classrooms will receive priority placement in LVCC Pre-K Counts program as well. ITCS classrooms are located at nine of LVCC's full-service centers in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton. Interested in ITCS for your child? We will work with you to find one of LVCC’s centers best suited for your family.
Toddlers
Curious explorers will find endless opportunities to learn and grow at LVCC centers. Our toddler programs are tailored for young and older toddlers. Teachers engage in learning experiences throughout the classroom, while promoting language and social skills with their peers. Teachers are involved in every aspect of your toddler’s day; from making art, to dancing to music, and learning new words and colors all to enhance your child’s fine and gross motor skills.
Preschool/Pre-K Counts
Prepare your child for success in school and beyond with our preschool programs where they will build a strong foundation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) as well as language, literacy, and social skills. LVCC is proud to offer PA’s state funded Pre-K Counts which is free to eligible families. If you are interested in enrolling your child in Preschool or PA Pre-K Counts, please fill out the form below.
School Age
Keep your child motivated and inspired with our school age programs where they will discover new interests and talents before and after school. Our school age programs are perfect for children who want to explore their creativity and curiosity outside of the regular school hours. Whether it’s building a giant Lego robot, mastering chess, or solving a puzzle with friends, your child will engage in activities that promote individualized choices to encourage socialization, independence and self-led transitions. At the discretion of the parent, our teachers provide one-on-one help and individualized attention to each child needing assistance completing school-based daily requirements.
Summer School Age
When school’s out…the fun begins! Children ages 5 to 12 can join us for an unforgettable summer experience with our Summer Explorers program. Children will enjoy field trips, educational and athletics in center programs, STEM projects, art events, and more from June to August. Our summer program will keep your child engaged and entertained while reinforcing their academic skills and preparing them for the next school year. Thanks to our generous donors, we offer scholarships that make our program affordable for qualified families.
