Building Foundations, Fostering Relationships
Welcome to Our Family
Located at 1925 Grove Avenue in Richmond’s Fan District, Tabernacle Child Care Center has been nurturing young hearts and minds since 1983. As a cherished ministry of Tabernacle Baptist Church, we’ve spent over 40 years creating a place where children don’t just learn, they flourish.
About Us
At TCCC, we believe every child deserves to be valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. As a VQB5 certified center, we aim for quality interactions through small, intentional class sizes allowing us to truly know each child—their personality, their interests, what makes them laugh, and how they learn best.

Our Programs
Infant Care (12 weeks – 18 months)
Our smallest learners receive gentle, responsive care that builds secure attachments and supports crucial early brain development. Every diaper change, feeding, and cuddle is an opportunity for connection and growth.
Toddler Program (18 months – 2.5 years)
Active exploration meets loving guidance as toddlers discover their independence. Through play-based learning, we support language development, social skills, and those important first friendships.
Preschool Program (2.5 – 5 years)
Our preschoolers engage in hands-on learning that builds school readiness through meaningful play. From literacy and math concepts to creative arts and science exploration, every day brings new discoveries.
Special Enrichment:
- Field trips and community connections
- Creative arts integration
- Outdoor exploration and nature time
- Monthly music and chapel for children 2 years and up
