Mission and Philosophy

At the heart of Cazenovia Community Preschool (CCP), our mission is to provide a well-rounded and nurturing learning experience for children of Cazenovia and surrounding areas, regardless of income or ability, with the goal of supporting the full development of each child's potential. The programs' curriculum emphasize language, cognitive, social, physical, emotional and creative development.

We believe that children should be treated as individuals and as important members of their classroom community. We recognize that children are unique and learn at different rates and in different ways. We strive to provide an atmosphere that enhances individual development while being nurturing, supportive and creative.
