Catholic Community Services and its Early Learning Centers recognize each child as an individual displaying social, emotional, physical, intellectual and cultural needs unique to herself or himself. The centers encourage and promote opportunities for growth and development in each of these areas. Each program is built on a philosophy consistent with the mission of Catholic Community Services. All child care centers provide full-time child care, Monday through Friday. Some centers also offer part-time child care. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided. Child care subsidies are accepted. All programs are either accredited or in the process of accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Field trips, music, art, science, literacy and outdoor play are important components.
