I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The staff had been extremely rude and borderline abusive to many of the children... When outside most of the staff can be seen in one area just kind of hanging out talking rather then watching or interacting with the kids!

About the Provider

Advertisement
The Carlisle Early Education Center (CEEC) was started in 1964 by the YWCA as the Carlisle Day Care Center. Since its inception the Center has sought to provide nuturing and stimulating learning experiences for children. Carlisle Early Education Center is a private, local, non-profit agency. CEEC is managed by a Board of Directors made up of Carlisle area citizens and parents of the children in the programs. The Philosophy of CEEC is to incorporate learning into every aspect of the child's day. CEEC believes in developing a positive self-image, developing qualities of independence, initiative, and motivation while encouraging children to develop self-control and self-discipline appropriate to their ages. CEEC provides a nuturing environment where children are exposed to the creative arts and a range of experiences in their community. These principles prepare children for the challenges they will face in elementary school as well as in life.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
