Welcome to Community Child Care Center!
Community Child Care Center (CCCC) is a licensed and accredited child care center located in the Commonwealth Terrance Cooperative (CTC) on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. (See below where you can also get driving directions.) Community Child Care Center’s mission is to provide affordable, high-quality early childhood education, in a warm, nurturing environment that encourages the development of the “whole child”.
CCCC provides services for families of the CTC community, University of Minnesota students, faculty, and staff, and the surrounding communities. Our center seeks to provide a physically safe, emotionally secure, and inclusive setting for all children and families, in a cooperative environment. Our mission is implemented through our educare, learning through play, anti-bias, and anti-violence philosophies. CCCC also strives to provide support for parents/caregivers and university students in the areas of child development, parenting, and early childhood education.
Most of the children we serve live in CTC, but we also include children from the surrounding community. You do not have to be affiliated with the University of Minnesota to bring your child to CCCC, but only U of M students and CTC residents qualify for our sliding fee scale tuition rates and are given priority on our waiting list.
Community Child Care Center has a toddler room, with children aged 16 months to 33 months; a younger preschool room, with children 33 months to 4 years old; and an older preschool room, with children 4-5 years old. You can find detailed descriptions of the classroom programs on the classrooms page.
