Our Mission
The mission of our child care program is to support
each family by providing children the opportunity
to grow at their own pace and in their own time
with quality care in their parent's absence.
Educational Philosophy
The Holliston Community Children’s Center is a developmentally
appropriate program meeting the needs of young
children. The educational program at HCCC recognizes
the developmental needs of the whole child with
equal emphasis placed on physical, emotional, social
and cognitive growth. The staff, in cooperation
with the parents, nurture children’s development,
anticipate their growth and share in their efforts
and successes. The classrooms are designed to offer
children a safe, happy, stimulating environment
in which to work and play. Teachers design the
program to meet each child’s individual needs and
interests.
Our Staff
All full time teachers are certified
by EEC, and in addition, most hold an Associate's
or Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education
or a related field. Some staff members hold Master's
degrees in Child Development/Education and all staff
are certified in CPR and/or First Aid and participate
in professional development coursework and/or workshops.
