CLAREMONT PRESBYTERIAN CHILDREN’S CENTER

Building a Community of Engaged Learners for over 30 Years

OUR SCHOOL

The Claremont Presbyterian Children’s Center (CPCC) is located in the City of Claremont, California. Beginning as a Mothers’ Day Out drop in program, and evolving into a full time year round children’s center, we have served families for over thirty years. Our teachers provide a comfortable, safe, nurturing environment for children from six weeks to five years old. Each class has developmentally appropriate curriculum with weekly lesson plans built around a central theme or question. The emphasis is on building a community of engaged learners. We are proud to say that we are a NAEYC accredited institution!

Both my daughters have been at CPCC since they were 9 weeks old. The teachers are caring and friendly and very conscientious about safety. Every day my daughters play and learn in a safe, supportive environment. The curriculum is innovative and creative. As a first time mom with no experience with children I was thrilled to have so many caring experts to rely upon!

CPCC is an innovative childcare and preschool center. My daughter is 2, and she's been there since she was eight weeks old. The teachers are caring and very experienced, and the Director is committed to a world class early childhood education experience, including lots of arts enrichment programming led by some of the best local artists and teachers.

All of the nervousness of going back to work and enrolling my two children in school went away when I saw how happy and well cared for they were at CPCC. The culture at CPCC promotes kindness, socialization, as well as independence. Thanks to the patient and cooperative staff, my youngest can continue to use cloth diapers and my oldest actually naps!

OUR GOAL

Our goal is to provide developmentally appropriate curriculum and expectations for each age group. Our curriculum is developmental, play-based, child-directed, teacher-supported, integrated and emergent.

Explore

Learn, grow, explore! We encourage our students to explore space, nature, mediums, relationships, and much more.

Build

We empower our students to build structures- both real and imaginary, making long lasting connections inside and outside of the classroom.

Community

Our classes provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum that encourages positive self-esteem, imagination, communication skills, active thinking, coordination, and appreciate nature, culture, diversity, and a strong sense of community.

Create

We believe you can never get enough enrichment- whether it is music, art, dance, creative play or other class projects.

Engage

We encourage our children to engage and play with all ages!

Smile

We believe (and have heard) that the children and alumi of CPCC are some of the happiest kids out there, and we agree!
