The Infant and Toddler Program at MCCA offers a warm environment centered on your child’s growth and development. Our caregivers form strong bonds, providing comfort and security through attentive care, cuddling, and play. With hands-on exploration, curiosity-driven activities, and engaging interactions like singing, storytime, and sensory play, we nurture infants and toddlers, helping them build essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills for a strong foundation in growth.
Our Preschool Program follows the Creative Curriculum® fostering school readiness through engaging, play-based learning. Aligned with the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) standards, our curriculum supports exploration, creativity, and individualized development. Children explore language, math, science, and arts daily, developing social, emotional, and cognitive skills in a safe, joyful setting. Our caring educators inspire curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning through hands-on activities.

MCCA has been recognized by the Maryland State Legislature for its commitment to Montgomery County issued a quality programs and special needs child care Proclamation in 2016 to MCCA for its commitment to Montgomery County child care for more than 50 years. MCCA was also selected as a 2018 nonprofit finalist for a MOXIE Award for boldness and innovation
MCCA is the oldest nonprofit licensed child care provider in Montgomery County and started its work in 1968 as a Community Action Project of the War on Poverty. Recognizing the need for quality child care programs in their neighborhoods, a group of local activists formed an association to establish centers in Montgomery County that would serve a diverse population and establish high standards for child care. Now, more than 50 years later, MCCA’s dedicated and expertly trained staff continue their tradition of providing high quality child care and play-based education for children.
Families with school aged children who can afford their child care expenses during the school year often struggle to afford the all-day programs they need when school is out for the summer. The Richard Krampf Summer Adventures Scholarship Fund was established to help provide children a safe and stimulating place to spend their weeks when school is out.
