Welcome to Community Child Care Services, Inc (CCCS). Decisions about your child’s education are not always easy to make, and we are thrilled you have chosen CCCS to be part of your child’s life. We take a holistic approach to early childhood. This means we focus on supporting children wholly by providing them with safe, nurturing, and academically fertile environments in which they can blossom. 

By welcoming your child into a supportive environment staffed by teachers and administration who are well-trained and dedicated to helping your child reach their potential, we at CCCS lay the groundwork for a lifetime of academic growth. For all children, their experiences in early childhood are critically important. Their interactions at school and at home shape their lifelong understandings about the world. That is why we strive to ignite a passion for learning which your child will keep throughout their life. To achieve these goals, we adhere to a well-developed academic curriculum, emphasize teacher training, and ensure that everyone at CCCS has the tools needed to help children succeed. 

At CCCS, we also believe all children are entitled to quality education. A safe and nurturing environment that enables children to mature, prepares them for kindergarten, and sets the stage for a lifetime of educational success is a fundamental right. We are humbled and honored that you have entrusted CCCS with such an important task.  

In short, at CCCS your child is in expert hands. Our friendly and supportive staff are ready to serve your child and help them reach their potential. We are here to answer questions and work with you to create a positive environment where we support the whole child and prepare them for an entire lifetime of learning. 

Thank you for your trust, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. We are here to help.

Sincerely,

Christine Poppendorf
