Concord Children's Center

We encourage all parents to become be familiar with the CCC Parent Handbook, which contains information on CCC’s philosophy, our staff, and our policies.

The excitement, joy and benefits of process-oriented art with young children was the subject of a special exhibit at the Concord Free Public Library in December 2019 featuring the artwork of Concord Children’s Center students. Each of our classrooms created a piece for this exhibit which addressed questions such as why is the process of art important for young children? What do children experience and learn in the process of creating art? What are the benefits of process-oriented art? The exhibit was on display in the Concord Free Public Library Main Art Gallery from December 1-30. A community-wide reception to celebrate the exhibit took place on Thursday, December 5.

Read the Concord Journal article about the exhibit, and see the exhibit introduction.

An overview of upcoming events, including the Bookshop Fundraiser, the Concord Free Public Library art exhibit, as well as a list of dates that CCC is closed this year are included in our November newsletter.
