Absences
Although it is not required, we do appreciate hearing from you when your children are going to be absent, especially if their absence is due to an illness that might be contagious.  We ask this as a courtesy to the other families whose children attend CCB. 

Nursing Services
Our nursing staff is an integral part of the total quality care philosophy. The nurses dispense all medications, provide health care education, administer first aid and TLC for accidents and injuries.  They are also available to answer parents health care questions.

Special Health Care Unit
For those times when your child is moderately ill, we provide on-site health care. The Special Health Care Unit is available at a small additional cost. Licensed Practical Nurses lovingly care for the child who is unable to participate in classroom activities.

Food Service  Good as Homemade!
All meals and snacks served at The Children's Center are prepared in our own kitchen with special effort given to avoid artificial flavors, colors and preservatives where ever possible. We provide a wholesome and nutritious lunch and two daily snacks. In addition, a simple breakfast is available for children arriving in the early a.m.  Foods with excessive sugar and salt are avoided and fresh fruits and vegetables are served daily. Special dietary needs can also be accommodated.
