"I
love the Community Children's Center. I feel very comfortable leaving
my child there. I appreciate the gentle nature of the teachers." - Center
Parent
At the
Community Children's Center (CCC), we strive to provide children with a
consistent daily rhythm, a safe and inviting environment and age
and developmentally appropriate, nourishing experiences. Our qualified
teachers are warmly responsive to the needs of each child. We keep our
child-to-teacher ratios lower than most other child care centers and lower
than the state requires.
Please
come and visit. You and your child are always welcome.

"Children need experiences with wind, dirt, mud, water: experiences with
other children, grandparents, running walking, flowers, books, smells,
gardens, balls, soft things, hard things, music, moving, trains - short
happy experiences - with grocery stores, libraries, bookstores.
Experiences with wood, building, rolling, swinging, clouds, rain. And they
need to talk about them, ask questions, point, make noise - in short to
use language with all of their experiences." - Bev Bos, Before
the Basics
