On-Site Children's Programs: Full-time Care
The Children's Center
of the Stanford Community (CCSC)
CCSC is a cooperative program in which parents may be involved in their child's
care on a regular basis. By working in the classroom, parents contribute their
special skills to the community, and come together with staff in the shared
experience of child-rearing. CCSC also offers a non-participation option for
a slightly higher tuition rate. Children 8 weeks to 5 years of age are enrolled
in this warm and inviting environment where learning is fun.
