WELCOME

Welcome to the website of Centennial Child Development Center, one of two early childhood programs which provide care for the children of students at Santa Ana College.  Our center is licensed by the State Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing and meets the Desired Results Standards of the California Department of Education Child Development Division, the source of our subsidized funding.  In addition, Centennial CDC is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and has been designated one of Orange County’s Five Star Quality centers.  The center not only provides care for children and families, it also serves as a laboratory for college students as they prepare to become teachers.

In our center children have priority above all other concerns.  Our services are aimed to meet each child’s developmental and individual needs in all areas of growth and development.  The foundation of all relationships among children, parents and staff is caring and respect, contributing greatly to our high level of quality.

One of the highlights of our center is our tranquil, natural outdoor environment.  The staff, children and their families help plant and tend the garden.  We welcome parents to become an integral part of all aspects of our English/Spanish bilingual/ bicultural program.  I look forward to sharing our joy with you. 

¡Bienvenidos!

Veronica MacKenney, Director
