Dumpling Grounds Day Care

Dumpling Grounds Day Care Center is a family-centered early learning and child care provider in Philadelphia, serving the community since 1980. The center offers care for children from six weeks through age five in a safe, nurturing environment designed to support individual growth, curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. Programs include infant care, young toddler care, older toddler care, and preschool.

Daily experiences are tailored to children’s ages and needs, with hands-on learning, opportunities to build independence and social skills, and support for developmental milestones. Preschool learning includes language arts, math, science, social studies, music, creative arts, technology, health, physical education, and social-emotional development, with kindergarten readiness as a focus. Dumpling Grounds is also a PHL PreK site for eligible students and offers extended-day care and care on non-instructional days for enrolled PreK families.

The center works in partnership with parents through open communication and welcomes families seeking full-time or limited part-time options. It is open Monday through Friday, with early drop-off and late pick-up available in limited capacity
