How We Are Different

CDC is much more than your typical Preschool Program.  We are unique in a number of ways for the wide variety of services for young children, their families, and to the community that we provide.  Both the programs and the staff have received many awards and praise for excellence and effectiveness of their programs.  Read more...

What If My Child Does Not have Special Needs?

Although approximately 75% of our children do not have special needs, we have found that fully inclusive classrooms, with a mixture of children with and without special needs, benefit all of the children in the program.  The learning for children without special needs is enhanced because of the low teacher-child ratio and they learn that good friends may be found with a variety of sizes, shapes, and situations.  They also learn lessons of kindness, empathy, and sensitivity that will serve them well their whole lives.
