Building Characteristics For Success With The Classical Curriculum
- The Classical Curriculum prepares learners for greatness: By immersing in the classical methods and techniques used by Ivy League schools, your child is ready for whatever future they choose.
- A Reggio-inspired environment centers your child: Soothing colors and beautiful, repurposed, child-sized furnishings inspire and help your child to focus. Teachers organize engaging activities at eye-level to encourage exploration and discovery.
- Experiential STEAM for holistic learning: Science, tech, engineering, art, and math combine to light up your child’s brain in activities they can apply to real life. They use manipulatives like beans to master counting, addition and subtraction, plant them in soil, and hypothesize about the result.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...
I can definitely see the difference between addy's academic success and Landon's due to the preschool environment. They both are thriving but your knowledge and attunement to their needs made a difference. Both love school and wouldn't have it any other way but I can see a difference. Through my research in my PhD program, I know the importance of what an early start makes. You are incredible!!!

Finding Cindy and CCYL is one of the luckiest things that has ever happened to our family. The atmosphere at CCYL is progressive and accepting. It would be a great place for families of all colors and beliefs. The food there is really good! It's healthy, delicious, and homemade, and it has helped us encourage our child to eat a wide variety of things. We can't say enough good things about CCYL.
- Kate and Steve
From age 15 months until he turned 5, our son was steeped in kindness and affirmation, filled with delicious, home-cooked foods, and encouraged to explore with all senses and express his thoughts and emotions appropriately. Cindy’s Center played an essential role in making our child a peacemaker and global citizen.

I am elated that so many more children will get to experience the ECE program that you offer. You truly run an amazing program, and the children and families you serve are beyond blessed to have you!

Cindy had a very intentional way of speaking to and interacting with the children. The training she received through Making the Most of Childhood Interactions. As the children played and interacted with each other and with Cindy, she supported both their language and mathematical development. Cindy constantly surveys the scene for opportunities to pick up a child’s action or statement for further exploration.
