Concord Child Care Center is a NAEYC-accredited, nonprofit Day Care Center at 1360 A Detroit Ave in Concord, operating since 1972 and serving toddlers through first grade. With NAEYC accreditation since 2002, Level 5 QRIS status, and a licensed capacity of 44 children, the center demonstrates sustained commitment to quality early education. Operated and maintained by the City of Concord, it participates in subsidized child care programs and offers play-based learning with art, music, science, field trips, and structured outdoor exploration. The center's CCLD inspection record is clean across recent years, reflecting strong compliance and operational stability. The specific site on Detroit Ave does not serve infants, so families with children under 18 months will need to inquire about other Concord Child Care locations.
