CCLC Preschool at Monterey Presidio

I absolutely trust CCLC and consider this daycare among the absolute best in the nation. I am 100% satisfied with our experience and could not recommend this facility enough. The daycare truly is a learning center where children are nurtured, safe, and cared for. My son looked forward to «school» everyday, and my husband and I felt good knowing he was in good hands. If you need full time care for your young child and live in the Monterey Bay Area, choose CCLC.

I moved to Monterey about a year ago; I left a wonderful daycare that my children and I adored. I was incredibly nervous about enrolling my children in a new daycare. «Will they focus on my children? Will they receive the same love and attention they received at their prior daycare? Will they have fun? What types of activities will they provide to stimulate my children’s development?» These were just a few questions that ran through my mind as I scheduled to take a tour of the facility. I was pleased with the setting, planned cirriculum, and seeing the happy/​smiley faces at the center. My children have been there for almost a year and love the teachers and center. They look forward to going to school everyday, and seeing their teachers and friends. I will admit the first 2 weeks were a bit tough for the kids (mom and dad included :)) during drop off but they were super happy when we picked them up. They looked forward to seeing their new teacher and friends everyday, and continue to show excitement whenever I ask about their days. The teachers made a concerted effort to make our children comfortable and have been very attentive to their needs and development. My kids are happy, feel secure, and are learning something new each day; what more can a parent ask for?

As a new mom, I was so afraid to trust my son with someone other than me or my husband. However, as we both work, what choice did I have? Luckily for me, I was referred to CCLC. The women here are amazing — they take WONDERFUL care of my son, as well as all the children who are enrolled here. I love the 4:1 ratio, as well as the fact that the infants are separated into mobile and non-​mobile infants (that way you don’t have adventurous little ones crawling over the little guys who can’t quite move yet). They are very conscientous of the individual needs and well-​being of everyone, and genuinely care about all who attend here. This place comes highly recommended!
