Infants (6 Weeks - 12 Months)

Our Infant Room is a warm, nurturing space designed especially for our youngest learners. We understand that choosing care for your baby is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we take that responsibility to heart.

Our classroom is calm, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged to create a home-like environment. Soft lighting, soothing colors, and age-appropriate toys encourage exploration while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere. Each infant has their own designated crib that meets all current safety standards, and we strictly follow safe sleep guidelines.

Our caregivers provide individualized attention based on each baby’s unique schedule for feeding, sleeping, and play. We work closely with families to ensure consistency between home and school routines. Daily communication keeps parents informed about feedings, diaper changes, naps, and special moments throughout the day.

Through gentle interactions, tummy time, music, sensory play, and lots of loving cuddles, we support early development in language, motor skills, and social-emotional growth. Most importantly, our Infant Room is filled with warmth, patience, and responsive care—creating a secure foundation where your baby can grow, explore, and thrive.

Toddler 1

Our Toddler 1 classroom provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for little ones as they begin exploring the world around them and becoming more independent.

Throughout the day, children participate in age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play, including art, music and movement, sensory experiences, story time, and hands-on exploration. Our teachers focus on developing early language, social-emotional, fine motor, and gross motor skills while allowing each child to learn and grow at their own pace.

Children also enjoy daily opportunities for gross motor play, both indoors and outdoors, where they can practice important skills such as walking, climbing, balancing, and coordination.

Our Toddler 1 teachers work closely with families to provide consistency between home and school. Daily communication keeps parents informed about meals, naps, diapering, activities, and all of the special moments that happen throughout their child's day.

toddler 2

Our Toddler 2 classroom is where growing independence really begins to shine! Children at this age are busy discovering what they can do on their own, building friendships, and developing their own unique personalities.

Our teachers provide a structured daily routine while giving children plenty of opportunities to make choices, solve problems, and practice independence. Children work on important skills such as following simple directions, cleaning up after activities, sitting together for meals and group time, and learning to communicate their wants, needs, and feelings.

Social development is an important part of Toddler 2. Teachers help children learn how to play alongside and with their classmates, take turns, share, use kind words, and work through those big toddler emotions.

Learning is incorporated throughout the entire day through creative projects, pretend play, stories, music, sensory experiences, early learning activities, and plenty of opportunities to move and explore.

As children become ready, we also partner with families to encourage toileting skills and other self-help routines that help prepare them for their next classroom.

toddler 3

Our Toddler 3 classroom is an exciting bridge between the toddler years and preschool! At this stage, children are becoming more confident, independent, and eager to learn, and our classroom gives them opportunities to put those growing skills into practice.

Children are introduced to a more structured classroom routine that includes group time, stories, music, creative art, hands-on learning, and activities that introduce early concepts such as colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and counting. Learning is kept fun and age-appropriate, allowing children to explore and participate while building the skills they will need for preschool.

Independence is a big part of Toddler 3. Children are encouraged to take responsibility for simple classroom tasks, make choices, follow multi-step directions, care for their belongings, and complete more tasks on their own. We continue working on communication, cooperation, sharing, problem-solving, and managing emotions as friendships become an even bigger part of their day.

Toileting and self-help skills are also an important focus as children work toward becoming fully potty trained and more independent with everyday routines.

Preschool (3 and 4 year olds)

To prepare each child for their school years, we offer a preschool classroom. This room provides a balance of formal instruction, collaborative play, and individual exploration. Our preschool classroom is designed as a learning community, where your child not only builds skills vital to success in kindergarten, but also gains respect for others, and a strong sense of confidence. The Preschool program provides a focus on fostering independence while working on cooperation and communication skills. We provide hands-on learning experiences and strive to promote literacy, number awareness, and social-emotional skills.

The Preschool classroom operates daily Monday through Friday from 8:45am - 2:45pm, 6-hour program. For parents looking for a part-time approach, they can choose the Monday-Wednesday-Friday option. Our teachers use the Creative Curriculum along with Teaching Strategies to develop lesson plans that reflect the Early Learning Standards of Pennsylvania. By using a hands-on approach to Learning Through Play your child with learn the beginning development stages of education the learn and grow from.

Pre- Kindergarten and Pre-K Counts

Being prepared for Kindergarten is a vital part of success for the educational process, not only from the education standpoint but from a child’s emotional standpoint as well. Feeling “ready for Kindergarten” develops a love of school and a love of learning. CCMC understands the importance of instilling this love of learning, which is why we have developed our Pre-K program.

Our Pre-K program is taught by a licensed, state certified lead teacher who is educated in the Pre-K and Kindergarten state content standards which govern all Pennsylvania schools. Our curriculum is aligned not only with these state content standards but also with the area schools’ curriculum programs. This ensures that your child will receive instruction that will have her/him prepared to enter into the Pennsylvania public/parochial school system.

We have two Pre-K opportunities: Pre-K and Pre-K Counts. Pre- K Counts is a state funded program designed for families who meet the income eligibility guidelines of a family income less than 300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. This program is free for qualifying families. Both programs are identical in academic nature – The only difference is funding.
