About Columbia Child Development Program
Columbia Child Development Program is a private non-profit agency run by a volunteer Board of Directors. Established in 1972, our program has grown from a small single-purpose agency serving a few children in Bloomsburg, to a multi-purpose agency providing a variety of services throughout Columbia county.
Philosophy
Providing services to families with young children in the best possible setting is the purpose of Columbia Child Development Program. As the needs of families continue to change and grow, the agency will pursue quality programs to meet those needs.
CCDP continually keeps in mind the needs of families with young children. Child Care and Head Start work closely together to provide services for children. This partnership approach creates a seamless day of service for young children.
Child Care
Columbia Child Development Program provides child care at the Bloomsburg's Children's Center, located at 215 East Fifth Street, in the heart of downtown Bloomsburg. Our child care program is NAEYC accredited.
CCDP provides quality child care services for children from 6 weeks to age 12 in an extended child care program. CCDP staff have extensive education, experience, and participate in ongoing training that exceeds PA Department of Human Services standards.
Head Start
The CCDP Head Start services provide a comprehensive program to preschool children and their families who are eligible based on income. This NAEYC accredited program is federally and state funded and designed to help children develop skills which will lead to school and later life success, through a center based or home based option program and a variety of support services. Our Head Start staff is comprised of highly qualified and trained professionals.
