The Forest Hill Presbyterian Church Child Care Center is sponsored by the Forest Hill Presbyterian Church and is licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

We accept children ages 18 months through 10 years.  Our staff, and your child’s new friends in our center, will complement your love and interest in your child.  It is our desire for each child to sparkle in some way each day.
