How You Can Help:
As 90% of a child’s brain growth happens before kindergarten, our progressive curriculum and nurturing support are designed to equip our young learners with vital life skills and a strong educational foundation. This sets them up for lifelong success at an early age so that their childhood dreams can transition into academic and career achievements.
At Child Development Centers, Inc., we remain committed to removing barriers between children and impactful growth and learning experiences. Your gifts to CDC's 2024 Annual Appeal will support the program of your choice: the Children's Foundation of CDC (an endowment that will cover future child care, education, construction and equipment) or other costs or the CDC food program (which is facing significantly increased costs). By partnering with CDC, your generosity will directly support our mission!

Still Not Sure Who CDC Is?
At CDC, we believe that prosperous futures begin with an exceptional learning experience! CDC is a private, nonprofit organization that provides childcare and early childhood education in safe, happy and healthy learning environments. Recently celebrating 55 years of service, our nonprofit continues our mission to positively impact our local community's youngest learners. Additional services include:
Our students receive free vision and hearing screenings, lead testing, dental exams and medical referrals each year to ensure their optimum health and wellbeing!
We provide a nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack to all children free of charge each day. For our youngest learners, we also provide Enfamil Formula and are also happy to work with mothers who are nursing and prefer to send breastmilk for their children.
We also provide free daily transportation (at select locations) for hundreds of children enrolled in our free Head Start program.

Words From Our Families:
"My son was barely speaking at the beginning of the year and now he is talking so much we can't get him to stop! We are so pleased with the amazing progress he's had from the school and the teachers. He loves going to school and seeing his friends and teachers."
"My daughter is loving school. . .it has helped her a lot since she was a COVID kid and didn't have much interaction with people or go places. She seemed to fit right in and loved going and loved her teachers. She does have a speech problem and the school is working hard with her and I have seen a lot of progress. I feel the teachers and faculty is wonderful and wouldn't change a thing. I can't wait for next year when she returns for another school year. I am so proud to say my child is one of your students and I highly recommend this school. Thank you for all you do for my daughter!"
"My child loves his classroom teachers and the routines and activities. He loves singing and he loves the lessons he is learning. He really appreciates the safety and routine of his school day. He loves also to play outside."
"I adore this school and the people who work here. My child loves it, and they truly care for him. He has food allergies and they go above and beyond in making sure his needs are met. The teachers are exceptional, kind, very smart, and communicate well."
