What Our Community Says

  • Choosing a daycare for your child(ren) can be both stressful and exhausting. We wondered how we would be able to find someone who would love and care for our first born the same way we would? CCP has given me and my husband the ease of knowing we could be away at work, knowing our son is safe and being cared for. Rose, my son's primary caregiver, is like part of our family. She has cared for him since he was three months old. My son is now two and a half years old. Our daughter, three and a half months old, will be starting CCP and we look forward to the bond she will make with her caregivers and peers. Even though we can't be there during the day, we know their environment is enriched with friendship, learning, but most importantly, love.

    Summer & Tom

  • I’m very happy to have taken Nurturing Parent. I recommend them 100% because it is a very helpful class. In all honesty, it helped me improve the relationship I have with my 3 year old. It taught me to be more patient, have better communication with her, and resolve some of the issues we were having. I truly recommend parents take parenting classes, I enjoyed it so much that the time spent there just flew by. I appreciate all of the staff that teach these classes because they help better our families through education.

    Patricia

  • Nurturing Parent teaches us parents to raise our children in a loving way because sometimes as parents we make mistakes and raising our children. I learned so much about how to better take care of my family, how to be more caring toward my children, and how to help with their education.

  • I took Nurturing Parent and it was a beautiful experience for me. It was the first parenting class I have ever taken and I really liked learning about the importance of values, education, and the home environment. I learned that education happens at home. This class was a great guide in helping us become better parents from the time they are little to when they become teenagers. I recommend moms and dads take this class because we truly learn a lot.

  • The CCPM infant, toddler and early preschool programs are a supportive environment for the whole child. Having my son attend since infancy has benefited his social, emotional and academic growth exponentially.

  • Thrive guides parents to learn to assist children with social and school-specific skills that allow them more success upon entering school. Both children and parents have benefitted from the program's provided by Thrive.
