The CCC's hours of operation are 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday - Friday, with an AM Program from 7:00 AM -8:20 AM and a PM Program from 2:50 PM- 6:00 PM.

The classroom of the CCC is organized and clean. The classroom has age-appropriate furnishings for children in care. The classroom has an operable refrigerator which contains food items consumed by the CCC's children. Food items in the CCC's refrigerator are labeled. The CCC provides mid-day snacks as needed. LPAs observed a snack menu posted along with required notices and documents on the classroom's walls. LPAs reviewed children's In/Out forms and found the arrival times of children as well as the departure times. The signature of authorized representatives is also noted. There are available drinking water fountains for children outside the classroom.
