Is CCC a year-round program?

Concord Children's Center is a year-round program.  We have a school year program that runs from the end of August to mid-June, and a summer program that runs from late June to mid-August.  We are closed for one week in August between our summer and school year programs for professional development. We close for major holidays and offer optional week programs during the weeks of Christmas and Concord Public School February and April breaks.

We encourage families considering enrolling their child at CCC to visit either or both of our sites. Please contact CCC Enrollment Coordinator Emily D'Arcy by email or phone on (978) 405-4579 to set up a visit. .
