Child Care Philosophy
Columbia Child Development Program firmly believes all children benefit from quality childcare. Quality childcare is provided at CCDP in a nurturing, safe, secure, stimulating, educational environment. We offer a developmentally appropriate curriculum which helps children to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Our focus is to provide a rich learning environment for exploration and experimentation in a child-centered classroom with a variety of learning centers.
The teachers at Columbia Child Development Program provide both individualized and group instruction based on the curriculum goals which we believe are the foundation necessary for all future learning. These goals are woven into all the daily activities creating continuous opportunities for the child to experience these concepts and to use them competently. Teachers use a variety of teaching techniques and activities to promote each child’s growth and development.
We believe families play a critical role in helping their child prepare for school and a lifetime of academic success. We work to help strengthen families by providing parents with an understanding of their child’s development and by supporting strong relationships between parents and their children.
