Description: Children's Discovery Center is a unique and fantastically different concept in the childcare industry. It was created on the premise that all children deserve the best quality care possible. It was this idea that made it conceivable to provide the type of nurturing and loving environment for all children that contributed to the foundation that makes CDC distinct from other childcare programs. Thirteen years after it's conception, Children's Discovery Center remains the top childcare / educational facilty in North Carolina.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
