Hear What Parents Have To Say...

If you’re looking for a great place to send your child for early schooling, then this is the place. Both my kids have come here. (my son is currently attending) The staff is experienced, patient, and wonderful with the children. They keep in good contact with any emergencies, updates, and have a great security system which keeps peace at mind for us parents. I highly recommend this place.

- Angela C.

We have children in the preschool prep and the pre-k classes. The teachers, namely Ms Ashley, Amanda, Angela, and Laurie have all been phenomenal. Our boys are excited to see their teachers everyday and we have been able to witness their growth in knowledge and creativity. We would strongly recommend CPC for anyone with young children looking for quality child care.

- Joshua C.

We are so glad that we found CPC! They checked all of our boxes and more. Their staff genuinely cares about the kids and they have great family programs to reinforce community. We feel like our daughter has a great balance of play and formal learning throughout the day. They are a great little school!

There aren't enough words to express my joy with this center! I have been sending my first born here for two years, and I'm so impressed with not only his mental development but also his social and emotional development as well! In addition, I had an emergency delivery at 33 weeks with my 2nd son and after a long stint in the NICU, this is the ONLY center I trusted enough to send him too. Every single teacher and all the other staff members are absolutely wonderful. I cannot reccomend this center enough!!!

- Rachel O.

I came across an ad for CPC and decided to give it a try, as soon as I entered the staff greeted us with so much joy and respect and I knew that this was the one. My daughter could not attend that year since they were full but this year she's in and loves it. The staff are amazing, her teachers are wonderful, they are so kind and respectful toward the kids and make them feel so loved. I wish I could have my daughter here for ever unfortunately I can't! But they have made this year and the school experience phenomenal for my daughter thank you all at CPC!!!

- Alma J.

Amazing directors/staff (for the most part). Very accommodating/flexible. Great curriculum focused on the development of the children. I love how welcoming and open they are to and with the parents. Facility is beautiful and safe. Trusted with my whole life, literally! 10/10 recommend this daycare to everyone.
