Community Child Care Center uses the Creative Curriculum, which is rooted in child development theory and practice. In this framework, children interact with materials and their peers and use the learning environment.

We believe that play is the natural and most effective way children learn. Through play, social interaction with peers and hands-on activities, your child’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth is enhanced.

Our teachers build on your child’s interests and strengths to meet his/her individual needs. Each age group has its own developmental goals. Our curriculum includes developing the following:
