❤️ What Families Are Saying About the CDC

"The CDC keeps my child safe and welcomes them every day with open arms."
The Arroyo Torriente Family


1. The CDC creates relationships with families and students
2. We get updates throughout the day via Class Dojo (these really make our day, but also soothe our mama hearts/minds)
3. They provide clear, concise, and direct communication
4. They have strong systems to communicate individual child updates throughout the day (diapers/food/nap sheets)
The Lopez Grantham Family


"The teachers are always in a good mood and welcoming. The class sizes are good. Good communication with parents."
The Ruders


"The CDC does a great job of keeping babies happy and engaged. We also appreciate the daily pictures and prompt communication."
