As a parent, choosing the right childcare is one of the most important decisions you can make—and I am *so* grateful we chose this center. From the very first day, we felt welcomed, supported, and truly valued. The teachers know every child as an individual and create such a warm, nurturing environment. The staff is incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely invested in the kids’ growth. I love hearing about all the creative activities they do each day—art projects, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and even early learning moments that my child talks about nonstop at home. Communication is fantastic too; I always know how the day went, and I feel completely confident that my child is safe, happy, and thriving. The facility is clean, well-organized, and full of joyful energy. My child has blossomed socially, emotionally, and academically since starting here, and we honestly couldn’t ask for a better place. If you’re looking for a childcare center where your child will be loved, supported, and inspired, look no further. We absolutely adore this place!
A Center That Truly Cares. For Children and Parents. If another daycare had openings and it was free, I would still choose Countryside Childhood Development Center without hesitation. As a parent of three children currently enrolled, and one who has since moved on to elementary school, I can say with complete confidence that the leadership and staff here have left a lasting, positive impact that will shape my kids for years to come. What sets Countryside apart is not perfection, because no daycare, no school, and no human environment is perfect, but their heart. They listen. They grow. They care. And that level of genuine humanity cannot be taught through a policy, a script, or a standard operating procedure. It’s who they are. My children feel safe, loved, and protected every day they walk through those doors. You can’t fake the kind of warmth their teachers show. It’s in the way they greet the kids by name with excitement, the patience they show during tough emotional moments, and the joy they bring into learning and play. My 2nd oldest child still talks fondly about the teachers and leaders here, and the confidence they helped build during their early years. As parents, we’re not just dropping off a child, we’re partnering in raising them. One thing I appreciate more than anything is how the staff takes the time to communicate with me, not only about how my children are doing, but why. They go the extra mile to sit with me, walk me through what they are working on, and ensure I’m comfortable and informed. It’s never rushed, never transactional. They treat me like a valued part of the team, because they truly believe parents and teachers should work together. And yes, I’ve seen some of the negative reviews from a former associate of CCDC. As a parent who engages daily with this staff, I can assure you those reviews do not reflect what actually happens inside these walls. The environment here is positive, nurturing, and rooted in integrity. The team shows up with love and intention every single day, and the growth I’ve watched in my children is proof of that. Countryside Childhood Development Center isn’t just a daycare. It’s a place where children are known, supported, and uplifted, and where parents are respected as partners in the journey. I’m grateful every day that my family found this center.
I was very nervous for my 4 month old starting daycare. Being my first child this was the unknown for me but the first time I went to countryside I knew I could trust them to take such great care of my little guy! The staff and teachers are so wonderful. I love how communicative they are and I love the updates I get throughout the day! I highly recommend this place!
CCDC is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. After having a bad experience with another daycare, it was such a relief that the director and teachers are so great and patient with the children. I've never seen such great and caring people that will care for your child as they would their own. Would highly recommend.
We had to switch to CCDC after our center closed. The whole staff was friendly and welcoming. Our daughter had a hard time adjusting but her teachers have been phenomenal and truly love and care about her. I’m so happy we were able to get her in.
