TRUSTED FOR OVER 35 YEARS

At CCP we believe in creating opportunities for children to play and learn, while instilling a sense of pride and accomplishment in their achievements. The teachers at Congdon Creek practice a positive child guidance model when working with unwanted behaviors. We promote social/emotional growth as well as academic progress, incorporating the Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIP) into our curriculum.

Learning Through Play

The early years are critical in developing the mind and body. The curriculum at CCP allows each child to learn through playing and interacting with peers and teachers. There is a different theme incorporated each month and the children are offered new dramatic play, fine muscle, and large motor opportunities.
