Driscoll Children's Hospital offers the Children's Learning Center—an on-site, high-quality childcare center for the children of our employees.
Driscoll Children's Learning Center strives to partner with families in the joys and challenges of parenting, providing a reliable and nurturing program for infants through preschool-aged children. As a team, we support the growth and development of children socially, emotionally and physically—all while fostering their love of learning.
Hours of Operation
The hours of operation for the center are Monday through Friday, 5:45 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., offering the kind of flexibility needed for rotating schedules.
Accreditation
Driscoll Children's Learning Center has achieved national accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
The NAEYC accreditation is the gold standard for childcare centers. In fact, only 7 percent of childcare centers achieve this honor nationwide. Additionally, our center is only the second in Corpus Christi to obtain this accreditation.
