We have two kids enrolled at different ages, and therefore have been in multiple rooms for each child. The lead teachers are experienced and we have seen tremendous growth in both our kids since attending. The majority of the staff seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with the kids and come up with creative activities for them. Through moves and relocation we have been at many daycares and we have seen a lot. This daycare doesn't just fill in anyone for classroom leads and assistants, they seem to wait for a good fit. Kids don't seem like a number here. Where turnover can be high in this industry they seem to hold on to teachers for a long time, which says something.
The staff communicate really well for updates and important info regarding our kids. Great to know if they took a nap or are eating well or how they are doing behaviourly/academically.

We have been part of the CCDC family for years, and the staff has always been wonderful partners in our daughter’s growth. At 4 years old, she is pumped for their upcoming summer camp! As a parent, I love seeing see her so happy in a place where the directors and teachers truly love what they do.
CCDC is the best! My older daughter still attends their summer program because she loves the staff and all of the fun activities they plan. They have been great with our youngest as well who has attended since she was an infant.
One of the best daycares in the area and have a really nice staff
Great staff and workers ! They all work very hard !
Love love love this school/center! The staff and administrators welcomed me with open arms. They are dedicated to helping children grow and go above and beyond with the families.
I love the directors and the staff. The children are loved and well cared for at CCDC.
love this daycare! i was so scared to drop my baby off when i went back to work but they are so attentive and caring i got over it pretty quickly. the facility is always clean, the teachers are so loving and patient, and i love that i get updates on the app throughout the day.
Absolutely adore the staff!! This center has that home feeling and would recommend to everyone!!
Under new corporate ownership as of Spring 2025, but they retained their fantastic directors and staff. We started CCDC a couple years ago with our first child in their infant room after needing last minute placement when our previous daycare suddenly closed. We have since had a second child who also attends CCDC. They are very accommodating when I have preferences on various aspects of my children's care. I like that I can send our own food from home each day. The teachers are very caring and most have been there for a very long time. The hours they are open align perfectly with our schedule of two full time working parents. They are closed on limited days, which I know is probably hard on staff, but really helpful for parents without other childcare options. Any time I've had any concerns the directors and teachers responded quickly to alleviate them.
Everything about CCDC is amazing and I am eternally grateful for everyone. My children have grown in so many ways and there has never been one time that I had concerns. It can be so hard to trust people but this place has amazing staff and really cares about the kids. After my negative experience with a different daycare I wanted to give up on all of them, but CCDC is completely different and dedicated to the children’s growth and development. My kids are actually excited to share their milestones with their teachers, and to attend the various events they organize throughout the year. Thank you so so SO much CCDC fam! 😊🙏🏻💕
I can’t say enough good things about CCDC. We needed childcare immediately (due to RTO mandate for my job & loss of our in-home sitter), and it was the first time my youngest was entering this kind of setting. We needed reasonable prices and energetic, empathetic, & experienced staff for our very smart, eager to learn, stubborn, and sometimes dramatic little boy….lol!
We found a great match, where our son is truly cared for, his “adjustment issues” are empathetically communicated, his needs are met, and we don’t have to worry. The staff are fantastic to work with, and they truly take our feedback seriously about how to best deal with our boy.
The interface on the app they use is intuitive and easy, we get messages and pictures and updates throughout every day on his nap, appetite, potties/diaper changes, behavior and activities. Additionally, the admin staff are phenomenal at keeping you updated, informed, and working with you on paperwork, payments, and fee assistance, if it applies. We really lucked out and it hasn’t broken the bank for us either, despite our fee assistance taking forever (at no fault to CCDC or ourselves).

Centerville Child Development Center is an INCREDIBLE daycare facility. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the teachers and administrative staff. My two kids absolutely love it there. The teachers are excellent communicators. The teachers/staff truly care about the children's wellbeing and their educational experience. I know they are safe and in a learning rich environment. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a daycare!
CCDC daycare is the best!! Everyone is so amazing and nice and they really make you feel like family! My daughter has went here for 3 years and we just love it!
The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and are our second family. We started at ccdc after meeting some of the staff and the director. We loved the family style learn and love that was so apparent.
My daughter learned most of her skills here, the 2 year old room has been instrumental in her love of abc, colors, puzzles, names, etc.
My son loves his class and the teachers as well, they both have been loved on and taught by just about all the ladies there.
While we bring in our own lunch the daycare supplies healthy morning and afternoon snacks. The playground is always a fun place for the kids and now that summer is coming water play will be back on:)

Teachers take the time to work with my Son, even though they have a full classroom. You can tell they really care and take pride in what they do. Everyone there is pleasant to deal with, from the teachers, to the admin staff. I am thankful that we found this spot.
My daughter has been going to CCDC now for 7 years. Every teacher she has had over the years has been amazing and so supportive to her developmental needs. I have never once questioned whether to switch daycares. Their summer camp for school aged kids is fantastic and full of so many experiences. I highly recommend CCDC to any parent in the Centerville area who ask.
We’ve been with this daycare for 1.5 years, and we truly appreciate the care and attention our child receives. The teachers are kind, listen to parents, and create a warm, comfortable space where children feel safe and supported.
This daycare/preschool has two of the most important things to look for in care 1) An excellent director (in this case, they also have an excellent assistant director) and 2) low teacher turnover. The director of a daycare sets the tone just like a principal does in a school. And, when teachers stick around, that means they like their job and the environment in which they work. The programs are good, too, but that is a given considering 1 and 2. We have been there over 5 years and we will be here until my son no longer needs care.
Highly recommend. Teachers and staff are super friendly and attentive. Good communication to parents. Kids get lots of outdoors time to play and be kids, but balanced with a good curriculum that helps them be well prepared to start Kindergarten. CCDC has very few days that they are closed and good hours for families with two working parents. The kids love the summer camp program and the fun field trips planned almost everyday.
CCDC is a the PERFECT PLACE to send your kids! Since day one the staff here has been nothing short of AMAZING! Communicating regarding my child, whether he is sick, or scraped his knee. I am always informed. The trust they have built with not only me, but with my son too. He LOVES his class with all his friends and most of all his teachers! Who I too adore! I’m am so HAPPY I chose CCDC! Trust me you won’t regret it!!
Walked in, was greeted immediately & kindly. Both the nurse & NP were so loving & wonderful while examining my little boy… very pleased
Both of my children attended ccdc and loved it! The teachers are excellent and strive to be. I really felt like my children were not only educated and cared for but were also loved.
I used to go here and i love all the staff here when were all there its like my 2nd family
I have been extremely pleased with the care that my children have received over the last 4 years. My children love the staff there as do I. The only reason that we are leaving is due to a move.
