At MCDC, we believe that a strong community starts with our children—and the families who support them. We’re a parent-run, non-profit daycare dedicated to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and enriching environment for every child in our care.

Our day-to-day operations are led by a passionate and experienced team:

• Rhonda, Director
• Melissa, Deputy Director
• Misty, Administrative Assistant

Behind the scenes, MCDC is guided by a Board of Directors, made up of MCDC parent volunteers. This unique structure ensures that every decision we make is rooted in what’s best for our children and our families.

Whether you’re exploring care options for the first time or transitioning from another program, we’re here to support you every step of the way. We invite you to learn more about our philosophy, meet our team, and discover what makes MCDC such a special place to grow.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a tour, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can’t wait to welcome you into the MCDC family!

We are accredited by the National Accreditation Commission (NAC), reflecting our commitment to excellence in early childhood education.

Our classrooms follow the Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies—a research-based, play-centered approach that supports learning through exploration, discovery, and meaningful experiences.

We are open Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM -5:30 PM , offering full-day care to support working families.
