  I find it to be very discriminatory not to accept subsidies in this economic climate we’re in. It sends a message that the school and program is not open to integrating or inclusive to children from all walks of life. It’s very sad to not accept families who are unable to pay cash (which is not many) for good childcare. Do better.

  The school is run by Ms Angela with a wealth of experience in managing preschools. The teachers are amazing. Ms. Viro was great for our son when he was 3-4 years old. Ms. Carla and Ms. Xochi, our son’s current 4-5 year old teachers, are amazing, loving, caring, and thoughtful. Academic preparation is very good. Kids are well prepared for kindergarten and beyond. The playground and classrooms are well equipped for kids. Families who go to the school are all engaged one way or another which makes CCC is a wonderful community for all. The school offers extended hours (7:30 am - 6 pm) which is great for working parents. You can opt in with a third party that provides high quality organic lunch. There are several extracurricular classes that you can register for such as Kong Fu, Soccer, Science, and Arts. There is even a snow play day at school in the winter! There is always a security person at the door which offers a peace of mind. Overall, I highly recommend CCC to all parents.

  I can’t say enough wonderful things about this school! My 4.5-year-old son absolutely loves it here, and as a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful. The teachers, Carla and Xochi, are amazing, so patient, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell they truly care about every single child. Miss Angela, the Head of School, is simply the most caring and dedicated person. She’s created such a warm, welcoming environment where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn every day. The school is always spotless and has excellent hygiene standards, which gives me so much peace of mind. Their after-school care is also a lifesaver, engaging, well-organized, and perfect for working parents like me. Another huge plus is that the school works with a third-party company that provides organic hot lunches, so I never have to worry about packing food. Everything is thoughtfully done to make life easier for families while giving kids the best possible experience. Truly the best school, I’m so thankful to have found it! 💛

  CCC has a new Director this year, Angela de Silva, who came from Palisades Montessori Center. She is an exceptional leader, educator and human being. Our son was with her for the preschool years at PMC and our daughter is with her now at CCC. We followed her to CCC after moving from the Palisades and we would honestly follow her anywhere. She is so experienced, she can truly understand the uniqueness of each child. Not as a bundle of behaviors at school, but with an eye to potential and a clarity on the best learning environments for development. That is not an easy feat for such young ones. She creates a culture of excellence amongst all the teachers and staff such that these kids are READY for kindergarten. They are reading, they are confident. And the magic is that the school curriculum is still play-based. It’s fun. They LOVE school and they love learning. There is also such a wonderful parent and family community at CCC. Not in a high pressure, co-op kind of way, in a warm and welcoming way that allows all parents to participate regardless of how much time they have for actual volunteering. It feels like a supportive family. The teachers and staff that Angela has assembled are an amazing group who really love the children and care about their development. Shoutout to Teacher Viro who STILL has my ten year old come read to her preschool class - he graduated 5 years ago. It’s one of the best decisions our family has ever made and we cherish our relationship with this school.

  Our son absolutely thrives at this preschool — it’s truly a hidden gem in the heart of Westwood. From the moment we enrolled, we felt the warmth, care, and genuine love the teachers pour into every child. Many of them have been part of the school for decades, which really shows in their experience, patience, and the nurturing environment they’ve created. They also offer extended care, which has been such a blessing for working parents, and the program is filled with enriching, hands-on activities throughout the day. Our son enrolled at the age of 2 and has made a tremendous progress since joining CCC. We can’t recommend this preschool highly enough! ❤️

  We’ve had an outstanding experience at CCC and feel so fortunate to be part of this school community. The teachers are not only deeply knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about helping children discover the joy of learning. Our child looks forward to school every day, which speaks volumes about the warm, engaging, and supportive environment CCC provides. We’ve known Angela, the Director, for more than a decade through my brother's kids at Palisades Montessori Center, and later with our oldest child. She displays a high level of compassion and strong leadership have always been exceptional. When she moved to CCC, we immediately knew we were headed there so our second child could be taught by her. CCC’s year-round schedule is a major plus for working parents. Most importantly, CCC has given our child a wonderful foundation in curiosity and confidence. We can’t recommend it highly enough to families seeking a truly high-quality early education experience.
