Preschools & Day Care in Danville, VA

Parents comparing preschools and day care centers in Danville will find 19 businesses on this page, all in Pittsylvania County. Children First Learning Center, based in Blairs, is the one entry from a smaller community. The page carries 149 Google reviews in total, so for many of these programs one or two reviews can shift a score a good deal. Most are small, locally run centers, and a few sit inside school or church settings, which gives the market a neighborhood feel.

A newer center and a long-running nonprofit sit near the top of the page. Nurturing Young Minds Child Care opened in 2025 on the Johnson Elementary Campus on Gloucester Avenue and is a fully licensed center for children from 6 weeks to 12 years, with a 5.0 from 12 reviews. Children's House is a non-profit daycare run in conjunction with Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church, enrolls infants from 6 weeks through age 4 and is a Smart Beginnings pilot preschool program.

Hours and schedules are a real differentiator here. Kidzplay Childcare is a 24-hour facility on West Main Street, owned by Christine Fuston, taking children from 6 weeks to 13 years on full-time, part-time and hourly options. Learn N’ Play Child Care Center provides before and after school care alongside infant and preschool classes, with 3.7 from 19 reviews, 13 of them five stars and 6 at one star. Harvest Corner Child Kare Center, established in 2008, offers child care along with tutoring for SOL testing.

School-age pickup is part of the local picture too. Children First Learning Center runs preschool programs from PreK1 through PreK4 and offers before and after school drop off and pickup at Southside, Twin Springs, Kentuck and Dan River Middle School, with pickup only at Chatham Elementary and Chatham Middle. It also runs a summer camp during the school break. Those named schools show how far the program reaches around Danville and into the surrounding county.
