We also develop them:

Spiritually, Socially, and Academically!

We offer…

a safe, nurturing environment that promotes intellectual, emotional, and social growth, allowing children to build a strong foundation of confidence and enthusiasm appropriate for lifelong learning.

We encourage…

children to experiment and explore in an environment free from failure. When engaged in creative thinking activities, it is important that there is no right or wrong answer, and that all answers are acceptable. In this type of environment, children develop the ability to see problems and challenges from new perspectives, think differently about solutions and alternative approaches, and attempt solutions without judgement or criticism.

Designed to…

• Teach academic, socialization, and problem solving skills.

• Develop self-confidence and self-esteem.

• Explore areas of potential talent through creative thinking experiences and activities.

• Increase verbal expression.

• Develop trust in oneself and others.

CCLC is a ministry of the Porch Church. We teach simple Bible stories once a month. Children and families from all backgrounds always welcome here!

Early Childhood Program Overview

Centennial Christian Learning Center (CCLC) is dedicated to equipping children with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in kindergarten and beyond. Our curriculum is designed in alignment with the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines (ELDG's), encompassing both academic standards and developmental expectations for children from birth to five years of age.

We understand that young children learn best when provided with opportunities to play, explore, and experiment in a safe and predictable environment. Our approach focuses on hands-on activities that engage all their senses, while encouraging interaction with both peers and adults. We believe in striking a balance between self-directed play and structured learning activities facilitated by our teachers.

Within our preschool program, our top priorities are ensuring the safety and security of every child, by helping children have positive relationships with fellow students and adults, and providing comprehensive support for their academic, social/emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development. We aim to lay a solid foundation for their future academic success, particularly in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics.

As children progress through our program, they are encouraged to become increasingly independent, building essential life skills along the way. We are committed to nurturing their growth, both academically and spiritually, as they journey towards becoming confident and capable individuals.

Centennial Christian Learning Center provides a developmentally appropriate environment that is engaging, safe, consistent, and nurturing, allowing children to enhance their developmental skills. We believe in fostering each child's natural curiosity, creativity, and love of learning by offering opportunities for them to master tasks appropriate to their individual level of development.

At Centennial Christian Learning Center, we are dedicated to creating an enriching and nurturing environment where children can flourish.

MISSION

We are committed to cultivating a joy and a genuine love for learning in every child. Every individual is blessed with unique gifts bestowed by God and as educators, we embrace the responsibility of guiding and encouraging our preschoolers to realize their full potential. CCLC is licensed by the State of Colorado and complies with all mandated requirements, ensuring a well-rounded and comprehensive educational experience for our students.

NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY

Centennial Christian Learning Center (CCLC) welcomes students of all races, colors, nationalities, and ethnic backgrounds. We are committed to providing equal rights, privileges, and opportunities to all students in our school community. CCLC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of our educational policies, admissions procedures, or scholarship programs. We embrace diversity and strive to create an inclusive and harmonious learning environment for all students.

GOVERNING BOARD

Centennial Christian Learning Center has a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) overseen by The Porch Church Board. The PAC represents the center's interests and provides valuable recommendations. Regular meetings allow parents to contribute their perspective, ensuring the "parent voice" is considered in important decisions. Topics discussed include curriculum choices, quality improvement planning, fundraising activities, family events, and parent educational events. If you're interested in joining the PAC, please express your interest to the Director. Alternatively, you can still contribute ideas or volunteer on a temporary basis. The committee, which includes the Director, teaching staff, and parents, welcomes any parent to attend the meetings. These meetings foster parent engagement, and the committee reports to the Church Council, ensuring transparency and accountability. Your input is highly valued and crucial to our community.

CURRICULUM

A high-quality early childhood education program emphasizes developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive instruction. An important aspect of this is the use of evidence-based curriculum and learning environments that align with State Early Learning and Development Standards. Curriculum, as defined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), is an organized framework that outlines what children are expected to learn, the processes they will use to achieve those goals, the role of teachers in facilitating learning, and the context in which teaching and learning take place. At Centennial Christian Learning Center, we utilize the Creative Curriculum, which aligns with the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines.
