Early Childhood Education

Center Philosophy

KUSD Child Development Center (KUSD CDC) works to provide a healthy stimulating environment where students can thrive and grow in all developmental areas and stages. We believe the foundational piece to high-quality care is building strong, trusting, and responsive relationships with each child and their family. We understand the importance of play and intentional interaction from teachers to enhance the children's natural curiosity about the world around them.
