Our Mission:

The mission of the Center is to provide an affordable, warm, and welcoming environment for children and their families. We believe children's growth and development will happen when they receive an individualized program consisting of experiences that stimulate all their senses. The staff here at CLC knows that it is their responsibility to provide a very thoughtful and planned curriculum that is rich in language and literacy activities for all age groups.

Our Philosophy:

Children learn best through play experiences. We believe the teacher carries many roles such as the scribe, the stage manager, etc. They are also responsible for observing and listening. The teacher facilitates play experiences to provide opportunities for children to learn how to enter plau, sustain play, and becoming to master of play.

"Play for young children is not recreation activity... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met."
