We are more than just childcare. Our centers are welcoming spaces where learning, nurturing, and support come together to help children thrive! Our infant and toddler programs are carefully designed to encourage growth and development in a safe and engaging environment. Because the earliest years of life are critical for brain development, we recognize how important meaningful experiences and interactions are during this stage of childhood.

We are proud to offer both subsidized and private-pay infant and toddler program options throughout Erie and Venango counties.

A Strong Start

In the Earliest Years

The first three years of a child’s life are filled with incredibly growth and development, which is why every experience during these early years matters so much. At CDC, our infant and toddler programs are centered around creating caring and meaningful experiences that support children from the very beginning.

We welcome children as young as six weeks old and are committed to providing more than just childcare. Our programs help build the foundation for emotional intelligence, healthy development, and future learning success. Through nurturing relationships and responsive care, our dedicated staff create environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore.

In our calm and engaging classrooms, infants and toddlers participate in sensory activities, music, movement, outdoor play, and hands-on experiences that promote learning through discovery. Daily routines are thoughtfully designed to support communication, motor development, social-emotional skills, and independence at each child’s individual pace.

Every interaction is a chance to spark curiosity, form connections and support brain development. Because at CDC, we know a loving start leads to lifelong growth.
