The Children’s Center of the Stanford Community (CCSC)—one of the largest parent cooperatives in the state of California—is licensed to serve more than 200 families of Stanford University faculty, staff, and students. CCSC offers part- and full-time early childhood learning programs for children from eight weeks to five years old. 

Accredited by the NAEYC, the play-based educational philosophy of the Center is grounded in the belief that children are competent, curious, and resourceful learners. Founded by Stanford graduate students in 1969, CCSC is the only nonprofit, cooperative childcare center on the Stanford University campus.

As a nonprofit organization, CCSC relies on the generous contributions from its community and beyond to provide an exceptional educational experience. 

With low child to teacher ratios, a dedicated team of passionate and highly skilled teachers and an engaged base of families who are directly involved via volunteering and/or regularly participating into classroom activities, CCSC is a unique place for children to thrive.
