Testimonials
Hear From our Families
CCDC has fostered the learning, development, and community of hundreds of children and families over the past three decades. See what some of our families have to say about their experience.
“Of all the things I appreciate about CCDC, the thing at the top of the list is that I know my son is truly loved by all of his teachers there. It’s nerve-wracking to decide where to send your 5 month-old baby, but I know there were no more thoughtful or capable hands than the staff at CCDC. I truly believe they’ll be in our lives forever because of the bonds we created.”
