Infant/Twos/Preschool Teacher

Children's Center of the Stanford Community
Email

CCSC was established in 1969 in Stanford University as a parent cooperative child care center and the very first child care center on campus. Our strength comes from the strong collaboration among parents, teachers, and the administrative staff dedicated to the well-being of children 8 weeks to 5 years of age. We take a child-centered, hands-on approach to learning—drawing inspiration from the work of Magda Gerber, Piaget, Vygotsky, and the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, among others. You may learn more about CCSC through our website at ccsc.stanford.edu.
