I have two girls attending here... so I like to divide my review into 2 parts!! My daughter has been attending CCDS for 3 years now and we could not be happier. Her teacher, Ms. Yared, is so attentive and caring. She knows the potential my child has and always challenges her in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. Our daughter will be turning 5 in January and has a mastery of sight words, numbers, colors and can write her first and last name. Ms. Yared has been instrumental in this development. She is so sweet and kind and a great teacher. As far as the staff, every time I call or have interactions with the front of the house I love talking to Ms. Nely. She is always super helpful and efficient. In every aspect the school is A++ !My younger daughter has been attending CCDS since January of this year and we have been very impressed with the 2 year old program. Ms. Lupe, Ms. Maddie, and Ms. Stephany are all so super attentive and in tune with the needs of our little girl. She has made huge improvements socially and academically and she is even potty trained! She`s not even 3 yet!! WOW! We love Ms. Maddie and everyone in the 2`s program. Ms. Nely in the front office is super attentive and helpful. She has made this transition into preschool super easy for us. We love CCDS!!
