"Supporting this center is supporting the growth and stability of our future generations"

My daughter (now 5 yrs old) is currently enrolled in Pre-school 4 classroom and has been thriving in this supportive environment, thanks to the incredible, well-prepared, and nurturing teachers. From when she started (2 yrs in YP class), the staff made sure to provide her with a sense of safety and belonging, fostering her growth both socially and academically. The teachers (who have been at the center for years) are not only attentive and kind but also deeply invested in each child's development, tailoring activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Watching her flourish in this loving atmosphere reassures me that she is in the best hands possible. The staff has been also so supportive to us parents and guiding us every step of the way. We urge for the CCCD Board of Trustees to reconsider the decision of the center’s closure!!! Supporting this center is supporting the growth and stability of our future generations!
