Preschool/Pre-K

Children ages 2 ½ to 5 years old are eligible for this program. Our daily schedule provides flexibility and consistency, as well as a good mix of physical play, social and emotional development, and communication. All our early academic lessons are geared towards furthering their development.

We are open from 7am - 6pm Monday through Friday.  We offer full time care . Our preschool program begins in August and ends in May.

For our academic curriculum, we use HighScope, an “active participatory learning” curriculum that supports critical thinking and problem solving, along with social development. Children’s interests and choices are the heart of HighScope, and children will learn to plan their activities, carry them out, and talk with others about what they have done and what they have learned with the curriculum’s "Plan, Do, Review" process. Our goals for CDC children are to learn through active play with people, ideas, and materials. We want our children to become independent, confident, and responsible. These goals will be met by following the 58 Key Developmental Indicators (KDIs). KDIs define the important learning areas for young children, which are social and emotional development, physical development and health, language, literacy and communication, mathematics, creative arts, science and technology, social studies, and approaches to learning.
