Welcome to Community Child Care Center, a non-profit agency serving local
children and families since 1970! Today, through our
Early Head Start, Head Start, ECEAP, and Child Care programs we
provide comprehensive preschool, childcare, and family support services to
over 300 children throughout Whitman County, Washington.
We are
proud to be accredited by the
National Association for the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC) – the nation’s leading organization of
early childhood professionals.
Less than 10 percent of all programs nationwide have reached this mark of
quality
and are recognized for their continued commitment towards reaching the
highest professional early childhood standards.

Center is to
promote each child’s development by providing high quality early childhood
education and care, and to develop
family partnerships. Value Statements We are committed to providing children:
High Quality Staff: We employ highly educated staff who demonstrate a natural
ability to work well with young children and their families. We actively
recruit staff with degrees in early education. We provide structured staff
development to address individual and programmatic needs through educational
opportunities, mentoring, and teamwork.
Social-Emotional Growth Opportunities: We foster each child’s social-emotional growth through
the awareness of self and community. We value classrooms that nurture
self-expression, adaptability, respect, caring, and empathy. We facilitate each child’s learning by understanding
development and appropriate practices. Highly qualified staff provide
individualized attention; exciting, fun and academically challenging
activities; and opportunities to develop school readiness skills. We foster partnerships with families based on mutual
respect and trust. We provide education and support to empower parents in
their role in their child’s development.
High quality Environments:
We create high quality environments for children,
parents, and staff that build a sense of community which is safe, diverse,
and acknowledges the individual.
Community Partnerships:
We operate within a network of agencies and link children and families to outside resources. We identify community needs throughout Whitman County and respond by providing services or fostering program development within the community. Parents and external community professionals provide program oversight by serving on our executive board. |
