Special features: Play-based curriculum; parent co-operative; large, creative play yard;
relaxed, informal environment, beautiful new facility. Children’s natural interest in play forms the basis of the CCC program and philosophy. Through play a child learns what it is to be a friend, to have a friend, to negotiate, compromise and solve problems. Materials like clay, crayons, paint, sand, water and building toys teach children to share, take turns and play together in large and small groups. Play takes place indoors and outdoors, so children learn about the world around them. Letters and numbers are a natural part of the CCC environment. We believe each child establishes an interest in them gradually and individually. The adults’ job is to notice, support and encourage each child’s interests and development in all areas. We provide a wide range of materials, games, songs and activities.

Special features: The daycare is located at the end of a very quiet, dead-end street. Nutritious snacks and meals are provided. We read daily, play games and do arts and crafts. Along with giving the children the love and care of home, I also teach each of the children to respect, care and help their peers. Practice sign-language with all of the children.
