The Children's Center of the Stanford Community (CCSC) has rare openings for dedicated, experienced early childhood professionals eager to work with children three years to 5 years old.

CCSC was established over 50 years ago on the beautiful campus of Stanford University as a parent-cooperative child care center. Our strength comes from the strong collaboration among parents, teachers, and the administrative staff dedicated to the well-being of children eight weeks to 5 years of age. We take a child-centered, hands-on approach to learning—drawing inspiration from the work of Magda Gerber, Piaget, Vygotsky, and the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, among others.
