Seward Child Care Center

Seward Child Care Center (SCCC) is a cooperatively-run, nonprofit daycare with a curriculum that focuses on conflict resolution, diversity/inclusion, anti-bias skills, environmental sustainability, and the importance of being an active participant in one’s community. SCCC is committed to providing access to high quality childcare for a diverse range of families since 1973.

What Makes Seward Child Care Center Unique?

• Parent-governed—the school was created by parents and is still governed by parents cooperatively
• Teacher run—the teachers have autonomy in running their classrooms, and decisions are made with the children’s needs first.
• Democratic participation—the Teacher Collective and Parent Cooperative allow children to experience democracy firsthand.
• An inclusive and safe space for families and children of all identities. Seward Child Care Center works to prioritize enrollment for families of color, LGBTQ-identified families, and CCAP eligible families.
• Child-initiated learning—children learn to make decisions and choices within a safe and structured daily routine.
• Conflict resolution—An approach to conflict that encourages social skills and peaceful ways to resolve disputes.
