As with all City of Menlo Park programs, the Belle Haven Child Development Center, at 410 Ivy Dr. in Menlo Park, celebrates individuality and promotes curiosity and understanding. Your child will be warmly welcomed as they become accustomed to their new caregivers and peers.

Our early childhood educators are not only certified, skilled professionals but also compassionate individuals who care and are dedicated to your child's well-being and growth. Many children who pass through our childcare programs stay connected to our other programs into their teen and adult years, with some enjoying volunteer or internship opportunities with us.
