We offer year-round, full-day programs to support your child's growth and development. Our operating hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, providing a consistent and nurturing environment without the need for separate before- or after-care transitions. This structure allows your child to engage in a relaxed, unhurried day, moving at their own pace alongside their daytime family.

Our admissions process is ongoing throughout the year, with enrollment openings as space becomes available. We encourage families to join our waiting list early to secure a spot.

"We watched Owen come into his own in these years, he gained so much confidence, found his voice, learned how to share and present his interests with confidence and pride. Not only that, but Ms. Hailey & Ms. Mel facilitated an absolute love of learning that has carried over into kindergarten. "

- Elizabeth S.

"Most of the time when the kids are shining all I can think is “there’s those FDC skills”. The impact all the teachers and the school family has had on our family is truly amazing. I cannot thank you all enough for helping our kids transition through this and for helping us use so many skills you have given us over the years. I never thought childcare could impact my life the way it has and make me a better person too."

- Jacquelin B.

""My child is learning how to communicate at an age-appropriate level and is excelling at each milestone, due to the intentional and thorough care on all ends. Rather than splitting our time and me being a mom and a student, he just gets to enjoy me as mom." "

"The FDC has been like a home to my sons. All the teachers are loving and understanding. Without CCAMPIS they would not be able to go here because of the cost."
