About Our Child Development Center


 

 

The JCC Child Development Center opened August 24, 1998.  Two years later, it was licensed as a five-star center. The center was originally NAEYC accredited in August 2002 and once again received NAEYC accreditation in April 2009.

Preschool children at snack time

Because the center is located on a college campus, the children are introduced to many exciting learning opportunities such as story time at the library, performances at The Paul A. Johnston Auditorium, and field trips to The Frank Creech Art Gallery and various departments around campus.

In addition to providing a safe and exciting environment for young children to learn and explore, the center is also a teaching lab for adult students in the Early Childhood Education program and others at JCC and throughout the community. Specifically, the Early Childhood Education students are learning how to teach young children cognitive skills such as problem solving and critical thinking, social skills such as problem solving and emotion recognition/ management, developmental skills, and language and early literacy skills.
