Children are organized by age and ability into four main groups. Based on their ability and interest, children in these main groups are subdivided for activities designed to stimulate their development at their level of readiness and need. Each group has its own area and staff experienced in early childhood education and development. This staff plans a variety of stimulating activities introduced throughout each day. Each day is a blend of adult and child directed activities.
Breakfast is provided with a full lunch at noon and midafternoon snack.
The food program meets as U.S.D.A. Child and Adult Care Food Program standards and is based on a menu using whole grain and natural food products. The family-style, healthy, nutritious meals are appealing to children. The CDC meets minimum licensing standard as well as being accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, which is recognition for high quality early childhood program. Under the guidance of staff, parents work as aides in the classroom with the children in their child's group. These ratios, along with small group size, contribute greatly to the quality of care provided at the Center.
