The Little Hearts Child Development Center, in partnership with the Hill Country Community Needs Council, will address the critical childcare shortage in Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.
We will offer a safe, inclusive environment, designed and built specifically for infants to 3-year-olds. Our teachers will be licensed and trained in trauma-informed care. All children are welcome, and we will prioritize economically disadvantaged families and those who have experienced trauma.
Located next door to the Needs Council, Little Hearts will be independently run and overseen by the Little Hearts Child Development Center Board of Directors. Please take a moment to explore our website to learn more!
