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.
