Countryside Child Development Center is committed to instilling a love for learning in your child. Our school is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Schools in Northern Italy. We allow your child to express their desires for learning and develop our curriculum based on those ideals. We encourage the children to explore various artisitc material from clay to wire, paint to mosaic tiles. Teachers become listeners, children become the focus.

We believe that children are full of potential, competent and capable of building their own theories. Children have "a hundred languages."

At the heart of this learning is project work and a vast amount of documentation supporting their discovery. Parents find themselves included, welcomed and encouraged to play a role in the child's life at school.

Countryside CDC also involves the community. Our preschool children visit Bickford Place, an assisted living facility just around the corner for our Preschool Pals program. Inter-generational relationships are fostered and new friendships are made.

Local businesses including the city government also supports the school in donating supplies, time and talent to the children.
