Columbia's Child Development Center, (CDC) has been serving children and families in the community since 1969. We embrace a joyful, developmentally appropriate approach to early childhood education and care that is rooted in our belief that every child is wonderfully made to learn through creating, exploring, questioning, and in relationships with friends and respectful adults. Our work is rooted in our Christian faith, a partnership with parents, and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. We offer a program that seeks to foster the healthy growth and development of children physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually while providing a stimulating environment for learning through hands-on activities.
