Danville Child Development Center

Our Mission and Vision

DCDC is a community-based organization that’s dedicated to giving children a strong foundation for lifelong success by providing support to families and high-quality early learning experiences in safe, nurturing, and engaging environments.

Teach
First and foremost, we are educators. We help parents and children discover the key to unlocking the world around them and believe that parents are their child’s most important teachers.

Imagine
The children that we serve in our programs today are the same children who will be shaping this world tomorrow. We believe that children’s ability to think, dream, problem solve, ask “What if?,” should be nurtured. We also believe that children should be encouraged to reach beyond what they think they are capable of and to try something new.

Create
Learning becomes more relevant and meaningful when we are actively involved. We believe children should be engaged in concrete, hands-on learning activities so that they can construct their own knowledge.

Learn
We are a community of caring learners, children and staff alike. No truer words than ‘knowledge is power’ have ever been spoken. Ongoing professional development is the key that provides children the materials, opportunities, and nurturing necessary to master the fundamental skills they need in all developmental areas. This includes large and small muscle control, social and emotional skills, thinking, reasoning and communicating, success in school, and more importantly, in life.
