Anne Campbell Child Development Center

Staff at the Child Development Center facilitate children’s learning using developmentally appropriate practices that support growth through:

• Play and exploration
• Daily routines
• Inviting, universally-designed indoor and outdoor environments
• Meaningful interactions with peers and teachers

The program uses a play-based approach to curriculum that individualizes instruction, promotes social-emotional development, and engages children through project-based, investigative learning. Our curriculum provides developmentally appropriate experiences that support the development of academic and social-emotional skills needed for lifelong learning.

Each child is provided with a variety of experiences at the center and in the community. Teachers conduct developmental screenings and ongoing child assessments to inform and implement individual plans that elevate each child’s strengths and intentionally target instructional opportunities in areas of growth.

We also promote learning by building a sense of community within the classroom. The environment is designed to be navigable by young children, promote independence, and allow children to make meaningful choices within established boundaries. Children are encouraged to become critical thinkers by engaging in dialogue and extending learning experiences that can address multiple disciplines simultaneously. We accept and promote the uniqueness of each child and work individually with each student to determine his or her best learning styles.

The Child Development Center strives to build an inclusive environment that supports children with diverse needs in our preschool programs. If a child has an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or Individualized Education Program (IEP), teachers will collaborate with school districts, parents/guardians, and service providers to ensure that the child receives the support they need to access and engage meaningfully in activities across the school day. Teachers, families, and service providers regularly collaborate to ensure that all children thrive.

A non-refundable deposit of $500 will be required upon enrollment. Subsidies for eligible families are available through the California State Preschool Program.
