The Child Care Project is a Child Care Resource and Referral agency which is
supported by the College in collaboration with other Upper Valley employers and
United Way.
CCP's goal is to further the availability of quality child care options for
parents and their families whose employment is dependent on child care. CCP
staff help advise parents with choosing child care, state regulations, and
referral to child care providers who may meet their families' needs.
CCP's purpose is also to serve as a recruiting, supporting and training
resource for child care providers throughout the area, both Home Child Care
Providers and Child Care Centers, and to support the professional development
of child care providers by providing training programs. CCP staff coordinate
the Upper Valley Child Care Association of local early childhood educators.

Our Philosophy
DCCCC is committed to promoting the growth of the whole child by tending to
each child's physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. Teaching
teams work in cooperation with families to produce an encouraging and
supportive environment.
Children are recognized and respected as individuals with unique and diverse
family values and backgrounds. Children are given the opportunity to develop at
their own pace in a nurturing, play-based environment that provides for their
physical and emotional health and safety. Children are encouraged to make
choices and develop independence while learning to be responsible members of
the community.
