The Vicenza Child Development Center (CDC) provides quality full-time and hourly childcare for children 6 weeks through 5 years of age. Additionally, small ratio groups are available for addressing the individualized needs of each child. The CSC's specialized and trained staff has a strong educational foundation for early childhood practices and theories. They insure all children receive the proper nurturing, respect and social interaction skills regardless of family background, race, gender or culture. It gives children the opportunity to make friends, to explore and to experiment through a variety of play activities.

The CDC is accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Accreditation is a nationally recognized credential for a developmental appropriate early childhood program. This credential recognizes programs that provide high quality care and education for young children. The purpose of becoming accredited is to continue to learn and improve the quality of our programs for young children.
