A Mission-Driven Organization
DCDC fosters children’s success through family engagement and quality early education in safe, nurturing spaces. We believe parents are a child’s first teachers. Valuing curiosity, we encourage children to think, explore, and learn hands-on. Our commitment to professional development supports growth in physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language skills. As a community of lifelong learners, we prepare children for school and life success.
At DCDC, we believe every child deserves a strong start—and that their journey begins with connection, curiosity, and care. We partner with families to provide high-quality early education in safe, nurturing spaces where children feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Teach :
First and foremost, we are educators. We work hand-in-hand with parents—their child’s first and most important teachers—to help unlock the world around them. Together, we lay the foundation for a lifetime of discovery, confidence, and growth.
Imagine :
The children in our programs today will shape the world tomorrow. We believe in nurturing imagination, wonder, and bold thinking. Whether asking “What if?” or trying something new, children at DCDC are encouraged to dream big and explore without limits.
Mission: Teach, Imagine, Create, and Learn!
DCDC is a community-centered organization focused on fostering children’s lifelong success through family support and high-quality early education in safe, nurturing, and stimulating environments. Our primary role is as educators, helping parents and children explore the world around them, with a belief that parents are a child’s first and most vital teachers. The children in our programs today are tomorrow’s innovators and leaders. We value and nurture children’s curiosity, encouraging them to think, dream, solve problems, and push beyond their limits. Learning is most impactful when children engage actively; we believe in hands-on, concrete activities that allow them to build their own knowledge. At DCDC, both children and staff form a community of committed learners. We know that “knowledge is power,” and ongoing professional development is essential to providing children with the resources, opportunities, and support they need to master core skills in physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and communicative areas, preparing them for success in school and life.
Create :
Children learn best by doing. Through rich, hands-on learning experiences, we give children the opportunity to build knowledge in ways that are meaningful, joyful, and lasting. Every day is a chance to explore, experiment, and grow.
Learn :
We are a community of lifelong learners—children and educators alike. Through ongoing professional development, our staff is equipped to support each child’s development across all areas: physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language.
We’re not just preparing children for school—we’re preparing them for life.
