Full Ranking Detail
infanttoddlerkinderschoolsubsidy

Central Texas College Child Development Center at 2001 Clear Creek Rd in Killeen is a college-affiliated lab school accredited and operating since 1981, serving infants through school-age children with a child-centered philosophy. The center accepts child care subsidies and benefits from oversight by Central Texas College's ECE program, with trained student teachers providing additional instructional attention. It has a clean record with zero high deficiencies. Public information about the center is limited—no website is listed—and a single negative review raises questions about staff consistency that would benefit from direct inquiry.
