Prior to enrolling at Chelten, our daughters had attended five different daycares that, for one reason or another, never quite fit. Once we found CCDC, we also found a sense of stability as previous issues with teacher quality, turnover and management were never a concern. Even at the height of the pandemic, the staff at CCDC went above and beyond to do whatever possible to share the burden and help our community find balance. Whatever was happening in the world around them, our children always had a welcoming, supportive environment each morning to help them explore, learn and grow. The staff made an incredible effort to learn every student’s unique needs and serve as their advocate. While our family was fortunate enough not to require assistance, it was amazing to me to hear how much thought CCDC had put into how to ensure our daughter could secure the IEP and therapies she required. It’s incredibly daunting pursuing support from the MCIU. We likely would not have been as successful without the advocacy of CCDC and their incredible relationships with public and private service providers. From daycare through Camp Jubilee, CCDC laid the foundation for our girls’ development and will always be a major part of our girls’ lives even as they’ve aged out.

Our kids attended CCDC for a few years, and prior to that attended a handful of other good day cares. This place was by far the best. The people there care so much about the kids, and are truly special people for how welcoming and inclusive they are. Will forever be grateful to them for everything they have done for our kids.

Our family has had children consistently at CCDC for over 10yrs. The staff treats your children like family in a fun loving and very safe environment. The curriculums are well rounded and engaging, offering really cool opportunities for our children over the years. The way the leadership managed the protocols and shifts during the pandemic made us feel that they had every child’s best interest at the forefront. The support offered for children with special needs such as an IEP also is above 5 stars. Additionally, our children were all well prepared for Kindergarten. If you are looking for a daycare home you won’t be disappointed.
