The Child Learning and Care Center, which is curriculum-based, has a wonderful parent community, fantastic set of teachers and administrators, and, well, great kids -- but you're not going to have home visits, quotas for fundraising, or lots of information about which K to send your child to (given that folks come to CL&CC from all over).
