Preschool & Child Care Center Serving Chico, CA
On A Mission To Serve Your Family
We commit to serving a proudly diverse group of families in an inclusive and safe environment, where your child’s physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and academic growth is nurtured. We provide opportunities to explore, discover, and create, and work daily to introduce them to the beautiful cultures that make up our community.
With Your Family & Your Child’s
Development In Mind, We Believe:
- An early childhood program should serve as a model for positive human relationships. Our teachers strive to create an atmosphere of respect for all individuals in a setting that stresses cooperation and values cultural diversity.
- Parents are children’s primary teachers and need a support system that encourages and strengthens parent/child interactions.
- Fostering the healthy development of children’s self-esteem and independence is paramount.
- Children succeed through self-paced, personalized learning that meets their individual needs and interests.
Perseverance & A Passion For
Providing The Highest-Quality Care
In 2002, CCDC owner Shelly Caperello began an in-home daycare to tend to Chico’s littlest learners. The Chico Child Development Center moved permanently out of Shelly’s house and into a new setting in 2007. But, in 2018, like many others displaced by the devastating Camp Fire and its aftermath, CCDC needed to relocate. Scrambling with less than a month to find a suitable space, Shelly found a new home for the program at Palmetto Ave’s peaceful church campus.
Now, as the team celebrates 2 decades of serving the community, they look forward to opening a second location in April 2022 to provide more little ones with the same nurturing care and incredible learning experiences that generations of parents have come to know and love.
Shelly loves having her own grandchildren attend her program and now cares for the children of some of her past students, too. We hope you’ll join the family!

Curricula That Focus On Whole-Child Development

Enrichments boost their language and creativity, and regular active play fosters healthy physical development.
Communication & Partnerships That Strengthen The Home-School Bond
