Reviews
This center is bright, beautiful, clean, and very up to date. The moment you walk it, it will “wow” you. The downside is the two directors who run the center, as well as the teachers and aides in the three year old classroom. My son attended CCC for two years when we were asked to leave, citing aggressive behavior as the reason. Upon moving my son to another center, I learned that the new center has accepted multiple children from CCC (all terminated for similar reasons), and none of them have had issues since. In addition to the make believe behavioral issues, it was brought to my attention that none of the 3-4 year olds who come from CCC can recognize their letters. While at the new center, children ages 3-4 are writing full words with no assistance. I could go on for days about other issues we had but I’m limited to a certain number of characters. I highly advise against using this center.
