Mary's Center is a federally qualified health center that served over 35,000 men, women and children in 2013. We provide comprehensive health, dental, social, and education services to underserved, underinsured, and uninsured individuals in the D.C. metropolitan region. Our mission is to build better futures through the offering of these services. We embrace culturally diverse communites and provide them with the highest quality of care, regardless of ability to pay.

Since 2002, the overarching objective of the Child Care Licensing Program (CCLP) has been to expand the availability of quality child care in the District of Columbia.  We believe that access to quality early childhood education is not only at the core of closing the achievement gap and promoting school readiness, but is also a key component in the financial autonomy of at-risk families.

We are now launching a new project to establish a Quality Improvement Hub for Family Child Care. Through this Hub, we will provide coaching around quality improvement and the Early Head Start Performance Standards, conduct eligibility for the child care subsidy program, and provide comprehensive services to enrolled children and families.
