The Harrisonburg Rockingham Child Day Care Center (HRCDCC) was established in 1971 in response to community needs for affordable child day care. In a document dated January of 1969, the Child Day Care Committee report to the Community Services Council of Harrisonburg-Rockingham County noted the need for a non-profit child day care center governed by a Board of Directors. In February 1970, Asbury United Methodist Church offered their facility as a site for the day care center. From an initial enrollment in May 1971 of three full-time children and one part-time child, the center grew to an enrollment of thirty children by the end of the year. HRCDCC has been an integral part of the community since its inception in 1971. After 38 years at the Asbury Church location, the HRCDCC relocated to Muhlenberg Lutheran Church in January 2010.
