Casey Fleming Director

Hello DCDC families,

We are so excited to be able to serve you and your family through our early childhood program. We are committed to meeting the needs of your preschooler through a caring, nurturing environment. Our goal is to build relationships and partner with families to provide an excellent and exciting early childhood experience. With God at our center and parents as our partners, our goal is to nurture the whole child to grow in physical, emotional, social, creative, cognitive, and spiritual areas of development.

Our program is based on the philosophy that children learn by actively participating, exploring and discovering. Our classrooms invite children to choose from activities that capture and hold their interest. Our highly qualified early childhood educators provide a balance of playtime with structured learning experiences that include pre-reading and writing, art, literature appreciation, gross and fine motor development, and spiritual development.

We look forward to partnering with you and your child’s early education and beyond. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
