“The Center has everything I was looking for.  My first impression was that the facility was clean and I observed teachers actively involved with children.  Classroom and play equipment were in excellent condition.  The children were engrossed in their activities.  I heard a lot of laughter and saw a lot of smiles.  My child learned readiness skills while attending the Center for three years.”

“I was a stay at home mother and was nervous about leaving my child at a child care facility.  I visited a lot of centers and felt the safest and most comfortable with the staff at the Dover Child Care Center.  I  highly recommend DCCC”.
