Open Air Outdoor Play and Exploration Every Day

Your child enjoys letting off steam and playing in the fresh air every day. Whether they choose to kick a ball around with friends or swing and slide on our fun play structures, they’re making building skills and friendships for life.

Your Child Can Take the Lead in Their Learning

Teachers see authentic play as your child’s best learning opportunity. Learning is both child-led and teacher-led since teachers follow your child’s interests with a personalized learning plan that helps your child progress.

Enrichments Include Music & Dancing

Your child’s body and mind stay active and engaged with the addition of music and physical education to their daily routine. During circle time, they’ll move, groove, and sing silly songs, promoting physical coordination, cognitive growth, and a love for learning. It’s a fun way to stay active while developing essential skills!

Your Child Learns Kindness and Respect in Speak and Action

Your child learns the importance of treating people with respect and kindness, as our teachers instill these values in their actions towards your little one every day. Instilling values in children are planting the seeds of their character.

Onsite Specialized Support and Daily Communication

Teachers observe your child and report their findings to you through Procare, our parent communication tool. If your child needs extra support, we welcome speech and behavioral therapists to come into our classrooms.

Our High-Quality State-Funded Pre-K Program Supports the Community

We prepare your child for kindergarten with a curriculum that includes math, language arts, and science. This state-funded program — available at both of our locations — follows high standards that support our goal to provide your child with the best education and care.

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.

"We have been able to witness their growth in knowledge and creativity..."

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.

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!

"Every single teacher and all the other staff members are absolutely wonderful..."

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!!!

"They are so kind and respectful toward the kids and make them feel so loved..."

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!!!
