Our facility includes a fenced-in, shady playground, a ball field and picnic pavilions, in addition to our classrooms. Childcare is available Monday-Friday, 7:30am to 5:30pm, year-round, except for standard closings found on the CRCC Calendar. We offer full- and part-time care, with M/W/F or T/Th options and pick-up times at 2:00pm and 5:30pm.

Our teachers guide the children by observing them play, listening to their ideas, and giving them the opportunity to follow through with the detail of their visions. Teachers continually engage in dialogue and assessment, based on the happenings of the classroom among themselves. It is then that the curriculum is created and implemented to promote each individual child’s social, emotional, physical language and cognitive development.

Meals

During meal time, children sit at classroom tables with their teachers, serve themselves “family style,” and use the time for developing fine motor skills, pleasant conversation, learning about new foods, and practicing good manners.
