To enroll your child with CCCC, contact the Director at lancastersd@gmail.com. The Director will be able to tell you whether space is available for your child’s age group and your desired schedule or whether you will need to join the waiting list. The Director is also happy to give you and your family a tour of the Center and introduce you to the teachers.
Once you have decided to enroll your child, you will need to complete a CCCC enrollment packet, sign a contract for your desired schedule, and pay a one-time family enrollment fee of $85. The packet includes forms that will help us gather information about:
– Your child’s habits and personality
– Your emergency contact information
– Who is allowed to pick up your child
– Your child’s immunization history (required by the State of Oregon for enrollment at a childcare center)
– Any special medical needs, allergies or food preferences
We offer online secure payment options and you can sign up at the time of enrollment.
At the time of enrollment, we will go over our policies with you, give you our current calendar, introduce you to the teachers, and make you feel comfortable about leaving your child with us.
A 30-day notice for changes or termination of childcare services is required.
CCCC is primarily funded by family tuition fees. We also receive funding under contracts; for example, we receive funds from the United States Department of Agriculture for our food program. CCCC also applies for grants from foundations and government agencies each year. In addition, CCCC families coordinate several fundraisers each year that contribute to the general operating budget for the center.
