Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum for Each Age Group
We have five classrooms:
Infants
We provide flexibility and consistency to our infants so they will become curious and confident toddlers.
Toddler I
A typical day for our toddlers includes a balance of quiet time and active experiences.
Toddler II
A typical day for our toddlers includes a balance of quiet time and active experiences.
Preschool
Our teachers carefully plan the environment and initiate projects to enrich the child’s capacity to learn.
Pre-K
Our teachers carefully plan the environment and initiate projects to enrich the child’s capacity to learn.

Annual Classroom Transitions
- Each May, children and their teachers transition together to the next classroom
- The lead teacher stays with the class from the Infant room through Preschool
- As a result, each child experiences a high level of continuity of care
No Religious Education — Why Not?
While we support and recognize the value of a Christian-based education, the CDC at Central’s mission is to serve Atlanta’s working families from all religious backgrounds.
