Davidson Cornelius Child Development Center Verified

\ \ \ Our mission at the DCCDC is to provide high-quality, affordable early education and care for any child of our community without regard to race, ethnicity, religion or socioeconomic status, and to embrace and foster diversity in a safe learning environment. \ We are the only center in the North Mecklenburg area that offers 5-star, full-time, affordable early education and child care with scholarship support for children ages 6 weeks to pre-K.  About 40-50% of our children receive sliding-scale scholarship support, ranging from 35‒75% of the total tuition cost \ \ \ \ At the DCCDC, we believe the path to equal opportunity starts in preschool. Access to quality education early in life has a tremendous impact on young lives and in breaking the cycle of poverty for families in need.  Mounting research demonstrates the enormous loss of human potential when we don’t invest in a child in the early years, particularly those at risk for academic, social, and economic failure. Without successful intervention, many children by age 5 are in danger of falling behind other children in their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.  Every additional child that we reach now through our early childhood education program is an investment in the future of our community. \ \
