Overview
Concord Child Care Center, Inc. (CCCC)
is a non-profit organization providing
education and family support services to
low-income families living or working in
Concord. The agency, established in
1972, has broad community support and
operates in buildings owned and
maintained by the City of Concord.
Concord Child Care Center was one of the
first programs in the City of Concord to
receive national accreditation status.
The agency has been accredited by the
National Association for the Education
of Young Children since 2002.
Our programs
currently serve more than 150 families
each year. The CCCC Board of Directors
has maintained the original agency
mission while continuing to add funding
and programs to expand services for
children of low-income families.
We believe
that the families we serve need not only
the programs that we offer, but the
support to develop the tools to become
self-sufficient when they are no longer
enrolled in our programs. We are
dedicated to enhancing families’
self-sufficiency and providing children
with a foundation to be successful.

Child Care Center became a partner for
the Head Start Project in 2000. Since
then, we have offered the same type of
programs and services as all Head Start
programs to expectant parents and
families with infants and toddlers
through age 3 as part of Early Head
Start. Concord Child Care Center's Head
Start and Early Head Start Project is
currently serving 13 infants and
toddlers and 20 preschoolers in the City
of Concord.
Head Start
is the most successful, longest-running
national school readiness program in the
United States. It provides comprehensive
education, medical and dental services,
mental health services, nutrition,
social services, full inclusion of young
children with disabilities, and parent
involvement services to low-income
children age 3 to 5 and their families.
Nationwide, more than 25 million
preschool-aged children have benefited
from Head Start. Throughout California,
Head Start serves more than 98,000
children.
Community
partnerships continue to be a primary
focus at Concord Child Care Center as we
strive to provide our children and
families with a well-rounded array of
services and programs to prepare them
for success. We continue to build on
many active partnerships and
collaborations with local cities, school
districts, county departments, colleges
and universities, social service
agencies, health programs and other
community agencies.
