🚨 👉🏽 Potty training is not required for enrollment!
Programs Offered at the Asbury Child Development Center:
- Infant and Toddler Care: CDC's highly trained nurturers provide year-round, individualized care in safe, clean and welcoming environments as they track and celebrate milestones with each child's family throughout their growth and development beginning at just six weeks of age!
- Preschool: Designated for ages 3-5, all CDC preschool programs are designed to give children an educational boost that will help them make a successful social and academic transition to kindergarten. Children thrive in CDC's nurturing environments, vibrant classrooms, and expansive indoor and outdoor play spaces!
- Head Start: This is the federal government’s 9-month, free preschool program for children from low-income households. Families receiving SNAP benefits (food stamps), SSI, or TANF automatically qualify for this impactful program. Head Start at this center also includes free transportation at select locations!
- Pre-K Counts: This 9-month, state-based preschool program is free for income-eligible families. For example, a family of four can make up to $96,450/year and still qualify for this educational program!
- Private Pay: This location also hosts year-round private preschool classrooms for families that do not qualify for Head Start or Pre-K Counts.
- Summer Camp: Kicking off on June 16th, this location will also host a 9-week summer program for children entering preschool through sixth grade. Families can choose to enroll in one or multiple themed weeks that are designed to keep children engaged in learning and exploration all summer long!
👉🏽 All CDC programs include a nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack each day! That even includes optional formula and baby food for their youngest learners.
