Central Child Development Center

Mission Statement: Our mission is to provide our students quality instruction with high levels of achievement in a safe and nurturing environment to ensure future success.

Vision: Ready for School, Ready for Life!

Rock Hill Schools offers half-day 4K classes at Central CDC and the Applied Technology Center (ATC). Preschoolers identified through the district's Child Find program are also served at CCDC. All classes are staffed by a certified lead teacher and a teacher assistant. Our curriculum is based primarily on the South Carolina's Early Learning Standards and our Big Day for PreK curriculum. Our educational approach focuses on active learning practices which encourage play, exploration, choices, problem solving, inquiry, and higher order thinking. The children engage in key experiences – creative interactions with people, materials, and ideas that promote their intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth. The daily routine incorporates learning centers, small group/large group activities, the creative arts, movement, and outside exploration.
