Description: OCPCC offers the only licensed, year-round, full-day child care center for infants (infants who are creeping, beginning to walk, etc.), toddlers & preschoolers in the immediate area. Our program is led by highly educated, well-trained, experienced teachers, who are committed to an enriching experience for every child. We accept children from 6 weeks through 5 years. Enrollment is ongoing. We ask families to visit our programs at least one time before their child(ren) begin(s) attending. We strive to create an experience that keeps the physical space & materials simple & grounded by natural elements whenever possible. We believe children deserve to be surrounded by an atmosphere that models the rhythms of home & seeks connections to the natural world. We are committed to finding ways to stimulate & engage children in ways that do not require complicated toys. Instead, we want to model a place where parents see that children enjoy the simplest of things & can find joy, comfort & routine in them as well. Our staff is trained in child development, early childhood education, early childhood mental health, special education, nutrition, CPR, First Aid & other related fields. In addition to their professional knowledge, they have been selected for their warmth, understanding & friendliness. It takes a great skill to build a community that is diverse & supportive. We pride ourselves on building a staff that has a wide variety of experience & styles so ta we can appeal to & serve all families with expertise & compassion. We regard parents & caregivers as partners & encourage you to play an active role in the functioning of the program & in your child's experience in our programs. There are many opportunities for parents to be involved at OCPCC, either through serving on the Board of Directors, serving on committees, helping with fundraising, volunteering, or other activities. Parents are welcome to visit the program at any time, and we encourage you to let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Our activities include: arts & crafts, circle time, daily outside play, regular daily routine, part-time preschool program, sand & water play, songs & musical activities & story time & literacy activities. Walks provide children with interesting experiences outside of the center & they are a regular part of our curriculum.
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.
