New Harbor Vista Comprehensive Child Development, Wilmington

Comprehensive Child Development, Inc. (CCD) opened in 1984 and serves over 7,700 children a day through our Early Childhood Education and Care Program (400 children) and our Nutritious Meals Program (7,300 children). CCD uses a hands-on active participatory learning approach proven to help children excel in language along with enhancing cognitive, physical, and social emotional development while promoting independence, curiosity, decision-making, cooperation, persistence, creativity, and problem solving. These skill sets are basics to developing successful students and independent adults. Our Mission: Empowering children and their families by providing a strong foundation through early care and education. The curriculum used by our centers has been selected specially to have the greatest impact on the demographic we serve by being student led and hands-on. Our centers provide freshly prepared meals (breakfast, lunch, and snack) to over 400 children a day. In addition to serving the children directly, Comprehensive Child Development, Inc. also provides support and references to families in order to promote self-sufficiency and raise the quality of life within our communities.
