Child Development Center II

 

Child Development Centers (CDCs) provide full-day early care and education (ECE) services for children ages 6 weeks through preschool (or until the child enters kindergarten) in a center-based learning environment.

 

Both centers are accredited from the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The Center also holds Department of Defense certification and participates in the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program for breakfasts, lunches and afternoon snacks.

 

CDC professionals use The Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies to provide developmentally appropriate activities that nurture children socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually to reach child development milestones and school readiness skills.

 

The Child Development Centers(CDCs) at NSA Bethesda are an equal opportunity employer.  To view the USDA Non-Discrimination statement please click the link below.
