Child Care

The philosophy at Crittenton Center’s Child Development Centers focuses on all areas of development. Primary emphasis is placed on their social-emotional development through play, dramatic play, creative play, and planned experience, which minimizes competition, encourages successful outcomes, increases self-esteem, and encourages cooperation. Studies have shown if a child behaves pro-socially and has a strong self-identity and self-esteem, they are more likely to achieve to the best of their ability. 

The Crittenton Center’s Child Development Programs are private, non-profit, multi-purpose family development centers. We offer scholarship opportunities and accept state assistance. The Center is open to all children, regardless of race, nationality, religion, or beliefs. We also believe in building a positive relationship between teachers and families by utilizing two-way communication, so families are more informed and involved in what is happening in the classroom. Staff will provide a variety of age and developmentally appropriate materials and equipment available indoors and outdoors for children throughout the day.
