About Us

We are pleased to have you and your child join the program. One of our major goals is to support the student parents by providing a program that assures you your child will be nurtured in a warm and loving environment that is safe, happy and a stimulating, meaningful experience.

Young children are special. They have energy, enthusiasm, a natural curiosity of the world around them and a real thirst for learning. It is the goal of the CDC that we work to enhance these natural characteristics of young children by providing care and education in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating child-centered environment with the ultimate outcome to have our children become successful, confident, and responsible members of our diverse society.

The CDC wishes to create a unique community for the children and their parents, student interns and others who utilize our services that support the values and behaviors of a caring learning environment. As you can see, this is a large program with many people involved in a variety of ways.

Additionally, the Staff and I would like you to know that we are available to meet any needs that may arise. There are many University and Lafayette community resources that may be of assistance to you or your child and we would be pleased to facilitate any of these resources upon your request.

I hope you and your child’s experience here will be challenging, enjoyable, and rewarding.

Thank you for the privilege of allowing us to have your child enrolled in the program.

Again welcome to the program.
