Our Programs

 
North Bay Children's Center (NBCC) provides a nurturing, educational environment
for children from six weeks through twelve years old along a with full array of support services to families.

Following our developmental philosophy, NBCC's age-appropriate programs include activities and materials that enhance a child's social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. 

Cooperative play is encouraged in a program designed to nurture creativity and build self-esteem. NBCC provides a safe, secure, and always caring environment that fosters trust and attachment, while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and creativity for children of each age group.
 
As a developmental program that receives public and private funding, NBCC follows standards set by the California Department of Education to determine class ratios, group sizes and curriculum development.  We also comply with Title 22 regulations of the California Community Care Licensing offices for each region. Our teaching staff reviews and assesses our environments utilizing the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scales. Also, twice a year we provide families developmental profiles of their child during parent conferences. These profiles track and review the development of children during their time at NBCC.

NBCC uses quality standards for early childhood education developed by the California Department of Education (CDE) and through “Best Practices” within the field of Early Childhood Development to develop and evaluate its programs.

If you are considering NBCC for your child, we encourage you to call us to set up an appointment and tour during the center's working hours. Parents with children already enrolled at NBCC may drop in, monitor or participate in classroom activities at any time.
