In the short time our family has been at this center we have felt very welcomed! The directors and teachers have all been kind. The kids keep busy with activities, art work, etc. Great parent/ teacher / director communication. Big outdoor playground! They have pets in a lot of the classrooms, which the kids seem to enjoy!

The center is bigger than it appears and has wonderful, caring staff that communicates well and cares for the children. My daughter has attended since 3yrs old and loves all her teachers. She is looking forward to summer field trips like splash pads, playground picnics, Learning Tree, and her favorite-the zoo. I've never been happier!

We have two kids enrolled at different ages, and therefore have been in multiple rooms for each child. The lead teachers are experienced and we have seen tremendous growth in both our kids since attending.

We have been part of the CCDC family for years, and the staff has always been wonderful partners in our daughter’s growth. At 4 years old, she is pumped for their upcoming summer camp! As a parent, I love seeing see her so happy in a place where the directors and teachers truly love what they do.

CCDC is the best! My older daughter still attends their summer program because she loves the staff and all of the fun activities they plan. They have been great with our youngest as well who has attended since she was an infant.

We have two kids enrolled at different ages, and therefore have been in multiple rooms for each child. The lead teachers are experienced and we have seen tremendous growth in both our kids since attending. The majority of the staff seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with the kids and come up with creative activities for them. Through moves and relocation we have been at many daycares and we have seen a lot. This daycare doesn't just fill in anyone for classroom leads and assistants, they seem to wait for a good fit. Kids don't seem like a number here. Where turnover can be high in this industry they seem to hold on to teachers for a long time, which says something. The staff communicate really well for updates and important info regarding our kids. Great to know if they took a nap or are eating well or how they are doing behaviourly/academically.
