Curriculum and Kindergarten-Readiness
Concord's licensed, early childhood education program is recognized as Paths to Quality level IV provider and has maintained its National Accreditation (NECPA) since July, 2016.
CDA-certified teachers lead instruction, which follows an evidence-based curriculum (The Creative Curriculum) that aligns with Indiana's I-STAR KR standards.
While you're away, your child will thrive in a compassionate, caring environment, learn how to interact with peers, and get ready for kindergarten!

Field Trips
From the pumpkin patch to the puppet show, we schedule field trips throughout the year. In the days leading up to the field trip, look for permission slips on the sign-in desk. You must provide permission, by signing your name next to your child’s, or he/she will not be able to participate. In addition, you are encouraged to go on field trips with us! Please let our staff know if you plan to attend.
During field trips, children wear name tags with their name, Concord’s name, address, and phone number. First aid kits are accessible at all times and attending staff members are trained in basic first aid. Staff members have immediate access to a telephone in case of an emergency.
