Cerro Coso Child Development Center

The Center is staffed with Child Development Professionals. Each classroom has a credentialed teacher and a ratio starting at one adult for every three children for infants and gradually increasing to one adult to every eight children in preschool. We often receive student aides from Cerro Coso Community College or Child Development students enrolled in student teaching classes in addition to our regular staff.

We know that children develop along a continuum each at their own pace and that all developmental areas are inter-related. They learn best through active exploration and interaction with others in a rich and varied environment that stimulates childrens natural curiosity experimentation and problem solving. Learning opportunities abound everywhere. Childrens efforts in social problem solving communication with peers and adults and exploration through play are encouraged and supported. Learning is a continual constructive and reciprocal relationship involving the child their peers the environment teachers and families.
