The Cornwall Child Center fosters social skills in a friendly, family atmosphere, and encourages the involvement of parents, community, and the school.

The Cornwall Child Center is fully licensed by Connecticut’s Office of Early Childhood and holds accreditation from NAEYC (National Association for Education of Young Children).

CCC was founded in 1974 to serve the youngest members of the Cornwall community and its surrounding neighbors. It is a privately funded, nonprofit educational organization.

Our mission is to provide the best possible early childhood program offering a stimulating environment responsive to children’s natural curiosity, creativity, and desire to learn.

What Parents Say

"The staff and community of the Cornwall Child Center really feels like an extension of your own family. And the 'it takes a village' mindset is always strong when you’re inside the gates."

Cornwall Parent and Board Member

Our Philosophy

Children are blessed at birth with an avid desire to learn about the world around them – a desire that, if nurtured, will lead to a lifetime love of learning. In planning our curriculum, we want each child to experience the success and joy that comes from finding answers to questions by exploring and discovering rather than by being told. In simple ways, if we as teachers convey a sense of wonder and delight in our world, children will respond the same way.
