Classrooms
Overview:
CDCC uses play-based interaction, teacher led, and child led teachings. We use creative curriculum which is based off the children’s interest. All classrooms create art and have sensory processing experiences. All CDCC classrooms go outside twice daily weather permitting. CDCC focuses on the whole child development, which includes physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. The children will develop lifelong skills such as communication, sharing with others, problem solving, independence and how to communicate and express their emotions. We honor your role not only as a parent but as the first and most important teacher in your child’s life. We will work as a team with you to support your child’s healthy growth and development.
