Mission

CHICOPEE CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER, INC. IS A PRIVATE, NON-PROFIT CENTER DEDICATED TO PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN IN A CARING AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT. CCDC IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE CARE AND EDUCATION TO YOUNG CHILDREN. WE ARE MOTIVATED BY THE PHILOSOPHY THAT EACH CHILD IS UNIQUE WITH THEIR OWN SPECIFIC NEEDS, CONCERNS, AND INTERESTS. WE BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN LEARN BEST FROM THEIR ENVIRONMENT. WE BELIEVE OUR CENTER IS A PLACE OF LEARNING ON BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL LEVELS WHERE EACH CHILD IS ABLE TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. WE NURTURE THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, LANGUAGE, AND COGNITIVE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ALL CHILDREN BY CAREFULLY DESIGNING AN ENVIRONMENT AND CURRICULUM THAT REFLECTS CHILDREN'S INDIVIDUALITY AND LIFE EXPERIENCES. THE CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN A SAFE AND STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT, DESIGNED TO FOSTER OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE, CREATE, AND EXPERIMENT.
