MDCA believes in providing a comprehensive program for children that will address their cognitive, social, emotional and physical needs. MDCA has a history that spans over 40 years.
Ministerial Day Care Association was founded in the summer of 1965 by a group of local clergymen, who were committed to effecting positive change in the lives of children and families in Cleveland's inner city.
The goal remains the same now. MDCA operates 10 Head Start sites in neighborhood locations.
We have a network of 10 day care and Head Start facilities on the east side of Cleveland, East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights.
