Care Member says "My son went to this center for three years and they were completely amazing! My son has behavior issues that started when he was three years old, ADHD, Anxiety, etc.. They worked with him and us to get him not only kindergarten ready but to get him in a space where he could begin to self regulate. I would say if you are looking for a quality center that is filled with teachers who love children and what they do definitely give CCYC a chance."
