Joining the CLP community means joining a supporting and professional work environment. CLP is committed to providing a nurturing environment that supports the emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development of all children. We work together with families to create a community that empowers children by instilling a positive sense of self, empathy toward others, and an appreciation for diversity. We provide care for children from 6 weeks old through 4-year-old kindergarten. We also offer a summer camp for children ages 6-12. Teachers plan their own classroom’s individual weekly lesson plans, including incorporating our downtown neighborhood: the central library, Capitol lawn, and neighboring museums. Children and staff alike have fun while working and learning. Meals are served family style with a focus on food that is prepared from scratch and fresh, sourcing from our on-site garden when possible. Classrooms often benefit from support staff - reducing staff-to-child ratios.

Teachers provide a wide range of stimulating experiences for children to meet their individual intellectual and emotional needs. They facilitate children’s play activities by supporting children with critical problem solving skills, participating in children’s play, and encouraging the development of positive social relationships. Teachers scaffold the development of children’s self‑help skills in eating, dressing, toileting, and other routines to foster appropriate habits. Teachers serve as a positive role model for the children.
