Welcome to
We look forward to partnering with you to support your child's early development and to creating a joyful, engaging experience for your little one in Monrovia.
We've been passionate about nurturing the "whole child"—helping infants, toddlers, and young learners grow, play, and thrive in a warm, welcoming environment. At CCFD, our philosophy is simple and fun: "Let's Play, Let's Learn, Let's Discover!"
Every day is an adventure filled with exciting activities designed to spark creativity, ignite imaginations, and build positive self-confidence. Your child will explore and develop their full potential through hands-on learning experiences that encourage self-discovery and joyful growth. Join us at Children's Center for Discovery, where learning is lively, play is purposeful, and every child shines!
From the cozy areas for drop in Breastfeeding to conversations about day to day milestones, they make sure your family is in good reliable hands. Not only is your infant and toddler cared for, they are guided through early milestones of learning and of course discovery. Their classrooms are filled with stimulating music, exercises, mirror play, and even sign language. As the children grow and toddle through their world, they find a discovery around every corner.This stage of development keeps everyone on their feet...literally! The connection between the infant/toddler caregiver and child is what helps make a difference in each one. The daily communication reports are another great resource. Communication of meal time, nap times, toilet training and activities gives the parents a glimpse of their day. As a parent, that genuine care for their child makes for a great partnership that connects their family with our CCFD family.
Their vocabulary is expanding through simple sight words littered throughout their classroom environment. Every letter begins to connect with sight and sound. The blend of teacher interaction through natural play encourages language development and helps the children learn to develop their ideas into words and sentences. CCFD also have group activities help foster social skills.
CCFD creates programs for your preschoolers in a fun and stress free environment. They get to explore fun activities such as music, science, math, language arts and manipulative play. CCFD promotes activities through their "Let's Play, Let's Learn, Let's Discover'' mode of learning. This style of hands on experiences leads the children through progression of natural and simplistic learning.
This program will engage your child's individual focus on varied learning skills. They will learn the necessary focus points such as Math, Science, Language and Literacy and Arts, Social and Physical Development.
CCFD create lessons tailored to meet your child's needs, giving them opportunities for exploration, questions, communications and creation in a fun supportive environment. CCFD also tracks the children's progress through work sampling, observation and photographs of your child's learning in the classroom.
CCFD has developed this class for our students who miss the age requirement (5 by September 1st) of the Maryland State Department of Education.
This class has a lot of the lessons that are being taught in Kindergarten. Every child will have a portfolio containing work sampling, art projects, assessment worksheets, progress reports, photographs, certificates, and teacher notes. Progress will be assessed through learning tools and reports to ensure your child in on track for the primary grades. These assessments are forwarded to their Kindergarten teacher to help evaluate each child's learning level. CCFD holds Parent/Teacher conferences quarterly to keep parents engaged and connected with their child's education.
As the School Age kids say...CCFD ROCKS! This program is a perfect combination of fun, friendship and learning. At this stage they learn to make friends.
This will give opportunity for school-ages children to spend time with their friends before and after school. Friendships are important...but so is Homework. Our teachers help ensure that good study and homework habits are followed through at the center. The teachers guide the children through their homework lessons with helpful explanations of process. Parents appreciate the extra help with life's busy schedules.
