A Legacy of Nurturing Young Minds through Play
Founded in 1927, Children's Community Center (CCC) stands as one of the oldest continuously operating cooperative preschools in North America. We believe in the power of play to foster confident, curious minds and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.
Our Philosophy: Play-Based Learning for Young Minds
At CCC, we embrace a play-based learning philosophy that encourages exploration, creativity, and critical thinking in young minds. Through open-ended play experiences, children learn best by experimenting, manipulating materials, and interacting with their environment.
A Collaborative Approach: Parents and Educators as Partners
Our unique cooperative model fosters a strong partnership between parents and our dedicated professional teaching staff. We believe in the power of collective involvement in shaping a nurturing and enriching educational experience for your child. Parents actively participate in our programs, engaging in their child's learning journey through:
- Active participation in the curriculum: Parents contribute their unique skills and knowledge to create diverse learning experiences.
- The Parent Education Program: This comprehensive program provides parents with valuable insight and resources to support their child's development.
- Collaboration with teachers: Regular communication and collaboration with teachers ensure a consistent and enriching educational experience.
Celebrating Diversity and Nurturing Confidence
CCC embraces diversity and promotes a sense of inclusion by celebrating different backgrounds, cultures, and abilities. We believe in fostering a respectful and welcoming environment where every child feels valued and empowered.
