HOPKINS HOUSE
Hopkins House is a local charity providing education programs and services to children, youths, and their families. Through high-quality preschools, financial literacy, homeownership, parent involvement, reading and literacy, and summer enrichment programs, Hopkins House offers to children and families the skills they will need for a life time of learning.

 

OUR HISTORY
Hopkins House was founded in 1939 by a group of concerned citizens brought together by the sudden loss of federal funding for a favorite Alexandria nursery. The group, composed mostly of public school teachers, met on August 7, 1939 and adopted a constitution and bylaws that formed Hopkins House. They named the institution in memory of Dr. J. Milton Hopkins, a physician who tended to the needy in Alexandria for more than 30 years (Pictured to the left).  More History...

OUR MISSION
The mission of Hopkins House is to provide quality educational programs and opportunities to children, youth, and their families, regardless of income, to help them achieve, in measurably effective ways, their full intellectual, economic, and social potential.
