You child's home away from home
Berlin Community Daycare moved to our current location in November 1993 from our previous address on Huron Street. The center is centrally located in the city of Berlin at 107 West Moore Street, so it’s likely not far from your home or work. Our facility formerly housed the Saint Stan’s Catholic Elementary School, providing an appropriate layout for child care as well as a bit of nostalgia for many of our parents! With safety being our top priority, we have recently equipped our 9,000 square foot facility with a state of the art security system. We encourage you to call us to make an appointment for a full tour of the center to see first hand what a great place BCDC is for your little one!
It’s all about the kids
“Why the silly names?” you might be asking. Children are much more responsive to names and descriptions than they are to a number. When a 3-yearold gets to move to the Sunshine Room they are much more excited and receptive to the change than if they were told they were moving to the 3-year-old Room or Room 3. Basically, each and every decision we make is to ensure that the child care experience is fun and effective, right down to the names of our classrooms!

18 Months to 2 1/2 Year Olds
Whoever said the two’s are so terrible? We think being two is a great time of discovery and growth! Many children this age are growing more independent. This new found sense of self is nurtured with learning centers, such as dramatic play, art, science and more. Teacher takes great steps to help foster her students’ independence and growth while continuing to provide a stable, compassionate relationship. Yes, sometimes two year olds can be temperamental, timid or tricky but never terrible!

Welcome to the Twilight Room!
Four Year Old Preschool
In Preschool, the four year olds learn all about what it’s like to be in “big kid school”. They prepare for Kindergarten by learning to write their own names, raise their hands, take turns and other essentials. Children explore with their friends in learning centers designed to allow children to learn in a style that suites them best and at their own pace. Teacher enthusiastically welcomes each child to her circle time carpet each morning and has an abundance of new opportunities and activities for the children each day. They learn about math, science, writing and pre-reading skills, Spanish and much more as each subject relates to the weekly theme.
The Playground
At Berlin Community Daycare & Preschool we know how important early physical activity and nutrution awareness are very important. Each classroom ventures outside to the playgrounds, weather permitting, for at least 1 hour each day. Kids engage in teacher lead activities like duck-duck-goose, bubbles or hula hooping and enjoy our beautiful new playground equipment. Our 9,000 square foor playground is separated into two play spaces so that our equipment is age appropriate. We hope that the shady, grassy spots, sand piles and free open spaces to run, skip and dance will inspire children to love playing outdoors here and at home.
