The Center focuses on a developmental approach to early childhood education as advocated by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Our philosophy is based on the knowledge that children learn best when they have opportunities to explore their environment through hands-on age and developmentally appropriate learning activities. The teachers are the architects of the learning environment; that is they use their knowledge of child development in conjunction with the needs of individual children to create a vibrant sometimes challenging learning environment. Children are given a variety of opportunities to engage in activities that help to develop all of the developmental domains-social/emotional physical cognitive and sensory.
Our curriculum also emphasizes peace education: understanding and caring about others dealing creatively with conflict valuing diversity and working cooperatively with one another. Learning to deal with and diffuse conflict at an early age provides children with a strong sense of self and problem solving skills that will be used throughout life.
CCYC is dedicated to doing what is best for children and staff are committed to following the Code of Ethical Conduct for Early Childhood Professionals endorsed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. We are passionate about what we do and strive to do the best for children and families every day.
