55 Years of Child Care Excellence

Good Child Development Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has been delivering excellence in early childhood education since 1969. Our identity is more than shapes and colors, it is a promise. A promise to children, their families and the community to provide a safe, inclusive and enriching environment where children can grow into their best selves.

We vow to do our absolute best to stimulate and intellectually nourish every child under our care, so they continue to become good children and, eventually, good people.

We aim to be the second best place for your child to be, the first one is home with you. Your child will be exposed to us from morning to late afternoon and it is our obligation for GCDC to be the place they will cherish when they look back.

Our all inclusive approach ensures children from diverse cultures and backgrounds can get to know and befriend each other. We like to refer to it as the true face of America. Why is this important? Because the earlier they encounter different ethnicities, cognitive abilities and heritages, the more they will build understanding and acceptance of each other.

We strive to prepare our children to be part of a vibrant local community and be ready for the expectations of society and public school.
