New Harbor Vista Comprehensive Child Development

Programs of CCD are offered on a non-discriminatory basis, affording equal treatment and access to services without regard to sex, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic group identification, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, color, or mental or physical disability. Children with disabilities or other special needs, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are welcomed into the program and reasonable accommodations are made as necessary and appropriate. As mandated by State Department of Education guidelines, the programs of CCD do not include religious instruction. Each child is accepted into the program at his or her current developmental level. Children have the opportunity to work independently as well as with other children and adults. Children plan, create, study, play, problem-solve and generally participate in a wide variety of developmentally appropriate experiences and activities guided by well-trained staff. Children are encouraged to meet both large and small challenges with confidence and competence.

Staff and family child care providers make available a multitude of experiences, materials, equipment and activities to strengthen each child’s social, cognitive and physical skills, as well as increase self-image and self-confidence. We strive to create in children an excitement for learning now and for the rest of their lives.

The staff and providers maintain close communication with each family. Teachers and caregivers talk with parents when the child is brought to the center or family child care home and/or when the child is picked up each day.

Parent/teacher conferences are arranged on a regular basis at times that are convenient for the family. It is through close cooperation between the home and the child care setting that each child and parent benefits most from their experience in CCD’s programs.
