IU Campus Children's Center

"We enrolled our two children in CCC in summer 2018, and we have experienced a Two's Room and the Preschool program. We have had an overwhelmingly positive experience. The teachers and aids have been great, are all well trained, and of the 5 daycares we've attended, this is by far the best managed. The center's response to COVID-19 has been responsible, safety-oriented, reasonable and has reflected sincere concern for teachers and families. The preschool program is play-based with strong emphasis on social and emotional readiness. When our older child moved along to kindergarten he was well prepared and his CCC teacher's helped make the transition as smooth as possible. We have also been impressed by how topics like gender norms, race and religion are approached. It's important to start talking about these topics at a young age, and CCC teachers embrace this responsibility in an age appropriate and inclusive way. We've learned so much about parenting from them! We're happy to be part of the CCC family."

"We have been at IU CCC since 2015 and could not be happier with every aspect of the program. The play-based approach and continuity of care model have been wonderful for our children. Every teacher, aid, and administrator exhibits such expertise, professionalism, and care for the children and families. Our daughter began Kindergarten this year and she was so well-prepared for that transition both from a social-emotional perspective and from an academic perspective because of her time at CCC. Our son continues to learn and thrive at CCC, even with the modifications that were required because of the pandemic. Certainly, the administrators and staff have gone above and beyond to implement health and safety measures during this pandemic, while remaining steadfastly focused on providing a nurturing environment where our children can continue to learn. We are so appreciative of the level of communication we have received about our children. Even now that we are unable to be in the building for drop-off and pickup, we receive daily notes and can easily communicate with the teachers about items as they arise. In addition, the periodic parent-teacher meetings are so valuable. Outside of those times, teachers have worked with us to offer resources, suggest library books, and just talk through various situations on multiple occasions. These teachers are experts in their field and we are so grateful for them and for the entire CCC community."

"As our time at the Campus Children's Center sunsets, we couldn't me more thrilled about our CCC experience. Our kiddo has had amazing support these past few years, not only from the amazing teachers, aids and staff, but he has made lasting friendships too, peer and staff alike. I cannot imagine a better experience, pandemic or not! I know our positive experience was what it was because of the dedication of everyone at CCC. As a parent, I don't want our kiddo to leave! Add your child to the waitlist early, speak to the great staff, and if you are able to grab a spot, you will not be disappointed. This is the real deal."

"IU CCC is THE first class childcare center in Bloomington. Our son has attended for a year and a half and we will send our daughter there as well. The excellent staff boasts a tremendous amount of experience in the field and care overwhelmingly for the children in their care. I am extremely confident this is the top childcare center in Bloomington and the surrounding areas. The Center's ability to adapt to recent changes (due to Covid-19) in communication and move to a digital platform has been incredible. During a time which we cannot visit the classroom, we are updated throughout the day on the happenings in the classroom. While I look forward to being able to visit in person, I love the feeling of knowing what my son is learning throughout the day. If you're looking for a childcare center and IU CCC is an option for you, I strongly encourage this as your choice. You will not regret it."

"We have been at this Center for over two years and there is no better place in Bloomington. The teachers are well-versed in child development and truly care about the children. The continuity of care model is amazing, as it allows your children to truly bond with their teachers. Our children have thrived. The philosophy of the Center truly focuses on the child’s needs. Your child will learn to take care of themselves, other people, and materials, while exploring their environment."
