About The New Early Childhood
Education Center
The Ann Barnet Center, Early Childhood Campus is our new Early Childhood Education Center and the next chapter of our work, expanding our services to reach more families and children in Washington, D.C.
Designed to empower low-income families and foster the optimal development of young children through educational and support services, the center is built on a two-generation, two-agency model that supports both children and parents.
This new project offers a sneak peek into how the Ann Barnet Center will enhance our ability to support families with essential resources and high-quality early learning.
