Our School

Since 1975, The Clara Barton Center for Children (CBCC) has provided quality educational and childcare programs for children ages 2 to 5 and is recognized annually by the Maryland EXCELS program with its highest rating. We provide a warm, friendly, and supportive environment where children can grow and develop at their own pace. Our goals are to nurture self-esteem, foster social, cognitive, and physical development, and lay the groundwork for a life-long love of learning.

At CBCC, we believe that children learn best through play. Here, children find joy in their work, excitement in learning, pleasure in friendships, and good feelings about themselves. Learning through play includes being curious, being flexible, handling differences, and thinking creatively. We provide a language-rich, socially nurturing environment in which children are encouraged to take risks, solve problems, and gain trust and confidence in their own abilities.
