We attended summer camp at CDCW and my kids loved it! Ms Perla and Ms Donna were so welcoming to my children in their classes! The swimming lessons, petting zoo, art projects, and Friday pep rallies were all top notch. My kids had so much fun they didn’t want to leave at the end of the day! Ms Paige was excellent to work with and runs a great program!

CDCW provides a safe, nurturing environment where the children are given a TON of opportunities for learning and development.We are incredibly grateful for all the wonderful teachers and staff that made a positive impact on our kids. They have attended since preschool and have made life long friends.

CDCW is an incredibly special place! Our kids who have come through the preschool and are now a part of the after school program have made lasting friendships and have grown tremendously as individuals. The CDCW staff is amazing and our kids genuinely love their teachers and all the fun programs that they get to be a part of. We consider ourselves lucky to be part of such an awesome place!

CDCW is simply amazing!!! The most caring staff and the best learning experience. So many creative and hands on activities including art, drama, cooking, music, dance and so much more. And don’t miss the summer camp, it’s the best around! Cannot recommend CDCW enough.

CDCW is a great daycare , can’t think of what else would I want from a daycare or a kindergarten, this school has everything!!! Great teachers, nice and clean classes, great playground, everyone super helpful and happy to help.... my son used to hate going to old school , since we moved to cdcw, everyday he would tell us, make sure I’m the last kid to be picked up, lolReview update: little update since we had new teacher after my original review….. my son graduated from kindergarten, I still can’t say enough wonderful things about the school itself, the owner/director super nice, but kindergarten teacher Ms.Jill not so great experience with her…. Not to go too much into details, my son was just drawing a picture of breaking boards in Minecraft and making some sounds with it, Ms.Jill asked if he was drawing shooting, my son said no, she didn’t believe him, started screaming at him, was banging some box in front of him on his desk, she totally lost it… then she pulled him out of the classroom and together with school cook had a conversation in the hallway, still don’t know what a teacher and school cook talked to my son, he won’t tell me, he says let’s just forget about it…. So many other things that went wrong that day…. Anyways, kindergarten teacher accusing 6 year old in drawing shooting when he was not and then acting like that is very unprofessional to say least….

We are so grateful for CDCW, especially with how the facility, owner and teachers handled the covid-19 pandemic response. Our child has been safe and well cared for, and we have been eternally grateful that during an upside down year in the lives of many children that our son was lucky enough to enjoy a relatively stable and normal experience thanks to CDCW. The teachers have blown us away with their enthusiasm and genuine care about the well-being of each child. Our son is greeted with warm and enthusiastic energy each morning and sent home with fondness that matches the level of when we drop him off. So many childcare teachers get burned out but not the ones here - I believe this speaks to the exceptional level of coordination, cooperation and compassion within the staff as a whole!

We LOVE CDCW. Both of my girls have been enrolled since they were 3 months old. The teachers are AMAZING - they love all the children and approach their curriculum with so much creativity. The staff is wonderful and are really dedicated to ensure the teachers have what they need and the parents stay informed. It is a fun environment where learning is prioritized. My oldest is currently enrolled in the new Private Kindergarten program and that has been the highlight of COVID - seeing her thrive and be in a classroom everyday with living teachers and her friends has been a blessing. Thank you CDCW for loving my kiddos as if they were your own!

I am writing this from my wife’s account. After having one son graduate from CDCW and another still there I have nothing but great things to say about this school. My wife and I have moved around because of my job and have experienced 3 different preschool environments from West coast to East coast and this by far has been our best experience. I watch not only how teachers and staff treat my son, but other kids. The care is consistent across the board.CDCW is open when most schools are not. Despite inclement weather and even some holidays, they do everything they can to keep the doors open for kids and their families. During a recent storm this year I was pleased with the way the school communicated with parents as to their safety protocol.What I really appreciate is this school truly recognizes and celebrates ALL cultures. From Chinese New Year to African American History to Indigenous day to Hanukah, they made a priority to educate the kids and celebrate the occasion. My five year old son was able to come home and articulate what and who he was celebrating. Teaching our children how to celebrate all people is very important to my family. I’m thankful my kids are in a place which reflect family values.The school may be hard to get into as a new comer, my youngest son was waitlisted initially. I never got the feeling it had anything to do with whether or not we were of a certain social class or status but simply they have such a high retention rate. Once kids and families are there, they do not leave until their kids graduate.I would highly recommended this school. Thank you CDCW for working with my family and for the love and care you have given my two sons over the years.

This is going to be an honest review as I simply want other parents to be aware of what can happen at this place. We wanted to love the CDCW as it was recommended by many friends as a clean and reliable daycare. In October 2018 we registered for a spot with them for our baby boy who was not even born at that time yet. The owner Paige assured us that we will have a spot available around mid October 2019. We paid registration fee and even one month tuition to reserve the spot and sleep in peace until that time. We made all the arrangements to have someone to take care of our son before October as we both work full time with my husband and we don’t have relatives here to help. In February 2019 (I was 8 months pregnant) I got a call from the owner saying that they SOLD our spot to another baby and now the next opening is in January 2020. What?! So what am I supposed to do with my child until then? We are talking about infants not a car selling business that is 100% profit oriented. To me this situation looks like total lack of integrity and ethics. So after we notified them that we want to withdraw the owner magically said that there is an opening in November 2019. What?! Are you kidding me?! To be fair - yes they refunded us deposit and registration fee and apologized. BUT do I really need apologies in such situation? The final result is that we trusted them and lost tons of time that we could use to find another daycare. I could never imagine this could happen to our family. I am glad we said good bye to CDCW. Best of luck.Thank you for the response Ms. Paige. However, it looks like some clarification is needed. If the CDCW contacted us BEFORE selling our spot and at least notified us about what's going on I would understand and would try to adjust our schedule but I never got any chance to do this as there was no advance communication even though we paid a deposit on top of the registration fee and we definitely expected better communication. Thank you.
