About

CCYC PHILOSOPHY
In addition to our curriculum, our program emphasizes on the fine arts, we approach every day with imagination, innovation and, most of all, fun! Studies have found that learning improves when children are engaged in an enjoyable and meaningful activity. Our curriculum includes a variety of intriguing activities that stimulate early brain development with a focus on creative play. Although it may all look like kids having fun, it’s also learning in action. It’s just another way that we make sure your child gets the most out of his or her CCYC experience. Additionally, we spend time just listening to and talking with students. This type of positive interaction encourages the development of emotional, language, and social skills and enhances the development of a positive self-esteem. We also provide opportunities for each child to develop personal interest at his or her own pace. To ensure that children at CCYC are kept interested, excited, and engaged in learning, we’ve incorporated outstanding preschool curriculums that are just the right fit for your preschool child as well as enrichment programs for your school-age child.


Children can begin at age 2 in our program. We are open M-F from 6:30am to 6:00pm. We do only offer full time care, and have a few Child Care Assistance spaces. If you are interested in setting up a time for a tour, we would be more than happy to do so.
