Canton Day Care Center
Center in Canton, NY 13617
Canton Day Care Center was established in 1977 to meet a community need for quality childcare with a preschool component. The Center has collaborated with and continues to maintain several community-based partnerships to fulfill this mission. In
conjunction with Head Start Canton Day Care Center was the first organization in Canton to provide a preschool program to promote Kindergarten readiness. Since our establishment the Center has been housed in several locations. In December of 2002 we moved our School Age and Preschool program together under one roof and are currently settled in at 7 Commerce Lane. Our facility is bright spacious and secure and is located adjacent to several facilities including the UCP CDP NYARC and Transitional housing which serve the needs of the community.
In 2000 Canton Day Care Center began to formally address the need for quality infant and toddler care in the Canton community. In May of 2004 we opened our very first toddler room. In December of 2006 we expanded again and started offering care to infants from 6 weeks old to 18 months old. CDCC continues to seek funding grants that will enable us to increase our current programs and expand into tweenie care. We are making progress! This facility is authorized to administer medications

Our philosophy is to encourage the whole child to develop in a positive atmosphere of warmth and caring. Our goal is to meet the social emotional physical and intellectual needs that are unique to each child. In their daily experiences with us the children learn to make decisions carry out responsibilities express themselves creatively and to discover friendships. They are exposed to music movement art science reading dramatic play life skills blocks sensory fine and gross motor play. Themes are planned around the interests of each group of children. A daily schedule helps to provide a familiar flow to each day and balances active and quiet play with child initiated and teacher-directed activities. We strive to achieve our childcare goals through the partnership of child parent school community and staff.
WE BELIEVE …. that children have a right to a loving relationship with trained caregivers; to be offered the best possible environmental conditions and materials with which to explore and experiment; to see their culture and language valued; and to have their primary caregivers working in harmony with each other.
