Columbia Child Development Program is a private non-profit agency run by a volunteer Board of Directors. Established in 1972, our program has grown from a small single-purpose agency serving a few children in Bloomsburg, to a multi-purpose agency providing a variety of services throughout Columbia county.
Philosophy
Providing services to families with young children in the best possible setting is the purpose of Columbia Child Development Program. As the needs of families continue to change and grow, the agency will pursue quality programs to meet those needs.
CCDP continually keeps in mind the needs of families with young children. Child Care and Head Start work closely together to provide services for children. This partnership approach creates a seamless day of service for young children.
