What We Offer
The Child Development Center offers children rich early childhood experiences through creative arts, blockbuilding, woodworking, sand and water play, dramatic play, mathematics, science, and literature.  Every activity that occurs in the program leads to others.

Functioning as an extension of the home, the Center offers an open classroom setting where learning occurs through hands-on activities and social interactions.  The Center, a mixed-age program, operates out of four (4) classrooms defined by concept, i.e., Creative Arts, Family, Math and Science, Woodworking and Blockbuilding.  Each classroom’s activities are built around the room’s concept, yet all curriculum areas are experienced in each room.  The children experience each classroom as they make choices throughout the day, and transfer concepts learned in one classroom to other rooms.  Learning is an active, total process.

Although focus at the Center is not on preparation for the child to transition into public school, but rather on the total development of the child, the Child Development Center’s alumni, however, do very well in public school, as they are prepared in all aspects of themselves, cognitive, emotional, physical, and social.  The Child Development Center serves many purposes for children, parents and teachers.  The children experience an enriched learning process, the parents know their children are in a safe, learning environment, and the teachers learn from the children, redeveloping and refining the teaching and learning process, and the process continues.
