Summer session days and hours may vary.

The Center, licensed by the State of California for 176 children, provides an environment which encourages the positive growth and development of each child, parent, student and staff member which are associated with the Center. Activities are designed to meet the social, emotional, physical, and developmental needs of each child who participates. The Center provides a learning environment for students of Delta College.

The Center is funded by the California State Department of Education. Applications for eligible families are taken and enrollment begins for the school year each fall. A waiting list is maintained for the school year. Summer session has a separate enrollment period. The dates for application periods and other information about the Center are posted on the Child Development Center link on the Delta College web site, www.deltacollege.edu/dept/childdevctr/index.html.
