Quality of staff is one of the most important predictors of quality care. CCDC strives for quality staffing through careful recruitment, thorough and continuous training, and support for professional growth and education. All CCDC staff receive extensive training and preparation in the care and education of infants, toddlers and preschool age children, and are required to take college level classes in early childhood education (ECE).
