Corvallis Community Children'S Centers - Monroe Center

My daughter absolutely loves it here. She’s excited to go to preschool everyday and loves all of her teachers. She’s been here since 3 months old and it’s been a wonderful experience for her development. I appreciate that they can be a bit strict because it lets me know my daughter is going to be safe around the other kids.

This is a very extremely abusive daycare. We were African-American we got told that first off the bat after starting that my kids names were weird. My daughter does have autism. I was made aware that I had to have additional support outside of the daycare to take care of my own kid that did have autism inside the daycare They were hit and beat by the Elder Director, she is concerning. They are not nice to diverse people, Especially those with disabilities they will hurt Your kids and there is no picture footage to Check on your kids throughout the day. They do use Brightwell. They try to be punctual, but they are an abusive center, to each is own; I will forever share my experience on my abuse with the center. Do not leave your kids here at least for too long

My wife and I couldn't be happier with CCCC! As parents of two young children, finding a childcare center where we feel completely at ease while we are at work was paramount, and CCCC has exceeded all our expectations. Every single member of the staff is genuinely caring and attentive. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure our children feel loved, safe, and engaged. We've seen firsthand their patience, their enthusiasm, and their ability to connect with each child individually, fostering a warm and nurturing atmosphere. They understand every family is different and parents in different ideas. They are open to accommodate as needed so the kids have the same level of care at CCCC as at home. It's clear they are passionate about early childhood education and truly invest themselves in the well-being and development of every child under their care. Most importantly, we have an unwavering trust in the team at CCCC. Knowing that our children are in such capable, compassionate, and responsible hands allows my wife and me to focus on our work with complete peace of mind. We receive regular updates, and communication is always open and transparent. If you're looking for a childcare center with a diverse, caring, and trustworthy staff who will treat your children like their own, we wholeheartedly recommend CCCC. They are truly exceptional!

We have had such a fantastic experience with two kids at CCCC since we moved to Corvallis 4 years ago! Please note when looking through the other reviews for CCCC that there has been a NEW director (Brenda) since the discrimination concerns were posted a long time ago. Brenda had already been the director for a few years before our kids joined in the Fall of 2020, and we've had nothing but positive and reasonable interactions and experiences with her and the teachers at the school. Brenda is very friendly, approachable, and runs the school by the book. She makes sure that protocols and policies are followed, and goes above and beyond to work with families, be inclusive, and care for her staff and the space. I have spent time in the school on many occasions, and it is clean, has appropriate furniture and safety features, the children are appropriately monitored and engage in play, learning activities, outside time, etc. Brenda is a fantastic communicator! She sends out messages on the school app to keep families updated with any changes, events, or concerns. When there are illnesses that go around a classroom (and this is inevitable in ANY daycare environment), she lets families know right away, includes helpful information about symptoms to watch for, and what extra steps staff are doing to prevent further spread, extra sanitizing protocols, etc. Having been there through the height of Covid, it's clear she has a good handle on these things! Over the past year, many renovations have been done to the school building, including new siding to address water problems from the rain in the walls, new paint inside and out, new windows, updated furniture for classrooms, and upgrades to the playground (just to mention a few!) My kiddos have LOVED being there, and my older one who is now in elementary school has such good memories of CCCC she wishes she could go back, and loves to be part of picking up her younger sibling. The teachers are always smiling and welcoming, and also very helpful when our kids have had challenging drop offs. My younger kiddo who has been there for 4 years is always excited to go to school, and enthusiastic about his day at pick-up. I would highly recommend this school to any prospective parents, and encourage you to reach out to Brenda for a tour! CCCC is a great part of the early education community for families in this area!

Our daughter had a tremendous Pre-Kindergarten year at CCCC, and we couldn't have been more pleased with their friendly, structured, and communicative environment. Relaxed drop-off and pick-up hours for parents are incredibly convenient, too. No hesitation recommending them to others with young kids.
