  School staff is so attentive and my son is excited to come in everyday. Early drop off and late pick up available if needed. For reference my son just finished the year in the infant room and started around 7 months old. He is having fun learning lots of new things and making friends.

  SCCC runs the UPK program for my district. My daughter has had an amazing year with the program and learned way more than I expected she would at this age. We are looking forward to the next year ahead!

  The first day without even doing anything they removed my kid from school. They said she cried but that’s normal. They didn’t want to deal with her. In front of me when I went to get my kid a kid hit another kid and the teachers were just chatting doing absolutely nothing. If a schools going to give up in just two days and doesn’t want to take care of the kid I don’t recommend this place to anyone. They lie a lot. They lied to my face saying they didn’t know her problems when I let them know before she even started.

  If I could give a 0 star I could. My kid went to school for just 2 days and they didn’t want to take care of her. Before we registered we told them all her problems and they were fine with it and said they were happy to help, but when she started they said they didn’t know. They lied saying my kid did stuff that she doesn’t even do. They said they called and made an appointment with another school that could help which was also a lie. We called the other school and they didn’t even hear about it till we called. They didn’t want to deal with my kid because she can’t communicate well. They said that was fine but in 2 days they gave up.

  SSCC was the best place I could have chosen to send my daughter for daycare. This is not just a daycare. Not only are the programs and schedules flexible for early childhood learning but allows the children to have fun while developing at such an important age. My daughter is 2 and started in the summer camp which was great. This year she is in Miss Tess's class. The care, love and compassion she and her assistants have for my daughter and ALL their students is beyond compare. I know that while I am at work my daughter is being taken care of by someone who genuinely cares for her. I can not say enough great things about everyone I have encountered here at SCC ! THANK YOU!

  This is the first year my daughter has attended and so far so good. This schoolyear she is in Toddle Time class. Very impressed with the curriculum. My daughter knows all her letters by sight, and almost all of them by sound (i.e.: what letter does alligator start with?). She knows primary, and secondary colors. She has made "best friends" in school and loves her teachers. The admin staff is very helpful and answers all your questions patiently, which is very comforting for this 1st time , a bit over bearing mom of one. I have recommended this place to friends and I was referred to this place by friends. That tells you a lot. Will update review on my 2nd yr.
