Grossmont College Child Development Center is part of the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District, and is located in San Diego County. The college serves children from infancy through preschool-age and has been a demonstration program with WestED Program for Infant Toddler Care since 1999.
The Child Development Center is a fully inclusive center serving all age eligible children within the community. In addition to creating a model Child Development program that mirrors the teaching of the community college Child Development and Family Studies classes, the center has three purposes:
The Center is a model training site for the California Department of Education Program for Infant Toddler Caregivers and an Early Head Start Partner.
The facility opened on January 30, 1989, and in the Spring of 2000 became a demonstration site for PITC, and functions as a model site for high-quality infant and toddler childcare. PITC and the Teaching Pyramid Framework go hand-in-hand in delivering a relationship-based focused curriculum for all children and families who attend the center.
The Child Development Associates (CDA) mission is to encourage and support the success and well-being of children, families, and the childcare community. CDA was founded in 1974 when it opened one small subsidized childcare center. Today, CDA operates three state-subsidized full-day preschool centers in the southern area of San Diego County and an Alternative Payment Program throughout San Diego County.
Opening in July of 2013, CDA Hilltop is their newest center, including 4 classrooms providing care for up to 104 children. This center is currently working on becoming a certified outdoor classroom site. Also, through collaboration with the Chula Vista School District, this center has successfully become an inclusive center supporting all children, including those with disabilities and other special needs.
Their commitment to their mission is evidenced by their vision for including all children in all environments, promoting family engagement, and their continued implementation of the Teaching Pyramid framework. CDA has witnessed the powerful effects of the Teaching Pyramid framework, and therefore are committed to sustaining their efforts. Teachers at CDA are becoming expert in supporting children in social and emotional competence by engaging them in rich critical thinking conversations, and by helping the children work through various social situations that may arise throughout their day. They became a partner site in the 2013-14 program year, and have continued to focus on implementation by incorporating the Teaching Pyramid into their program practices at various levels.
