About CLC
Our Mission:
CLC builds nurturing and innovative early childhood educational experiences for all children and their families to succeed.
Our Vision:
Shaping a just future through early childhood education.

CLC is a Fairfield County innovator in early childhood education outcomes, empowering families to be their own advocates in any circumstance, including when faced with early education obstacles. CLC also identifies and develops strategic community relationships to strengthen families and just educational outcomes.
Both my children attended CLC and it was the best experience for them, as well as for myself. I was even given an opportunity to work for CLC and it taught me so much. I am thankful for all the staff and how they work with each other. I would recommend CLC to any parent because they care for your child in every way!


Ryley has learned so much academically, socially and emotionally. She has grown and learned to be independent. I love to hear her stories of what she learned and did during the day when she gets home each day.
In 2020, during eight weeks early in the COVID-19 pandemic, CLC provided reliable and safe childcare to children of healthcare and frontline workers as part of Project 26. CLC re-opened all eight of its Stamford locations in June 2020, enabling more parents to go back to work. CLC also continues to provide remote learning and support services to children who cannot join in classrooms right away.
The pandemic did not change our resolve and commitment to prepare the next generation for a promising future.
