NATIONALLY ACCREDITED AWARD-WINNING
Early Childhood Education Provider
The CDC did an excellent job at caring for my two daughters over about 10 years. The staff and teachers provided a caring and supportive learning environment that taught my children social-emotional skills and prepared them for kindergarten. My daughters thrived at the CDC and when transitioning to elementary school. I would recommend this center to anyone!
Carolyn Lund
Preschool Family
We have had the most amazing experience at the CDC. Our son has grown significantly thanks to the loving nature of the teachers, the play-based approach, and the support we have received in aiding in his education and development. His experience prepared him for next year.
Parent
Preschool Family
The CDC has been such a tremendous and important part of our “village” and I cannot thank them enough. The twins have blossomed at the CDC and we owe a big part of that to the staff.
