At Community Life Development Center (CLDC) and our mission is to provide developmentally appropriate programs to foster the development of the whole child. We believe in the value and uniqueness of all children and we strive to meet the learning style of each child. We believe that young children need to be actively involved in learning through play and have the opportunities to explore, experience and succeed. Changing the world is a tall task, but we can shape the young minds of the children that one day will. After all, these children are the next generation. We believe that whatever we instilled in our children today will be the outcome of our tomorrow.
At CLDC we provide quality Childcare and Youth Development in a safe, healthy, well-staffed, equipped, managed, and loving Christian family / child style learning environment, where proper growth and development can and will take place. We acknowledge the fact that all parents has a need for quality care.
