The Bergen Community College Child Development Center (CDC), is located in Ender Hall at the College’s main campus in Paramus. The center has provided high quality early childhood education opportunities for two through five-year-olds since its inception in 1982.

Licensed by the New Jersey Department of Children and Families, center enrollees include the children of College faculty, staff and students and those from the greater Bergen County region.

As a laboratory school, the CDC provides an on-campus observation, demonstration, field and workforce training site for BCC students. As a model school, there are many opportunities for students to use the center and fulfill their course requirements relating to child development just steps away from their own classroom learning environments.

The CDC is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
The CDC has a three star rating through Grow NJ Kids

Led by highly qualified teachers, the center features three classrooms that support both hands-on play and the development of academic concepts in math, science, social studies, language, and creative arts. Children also have access to outdoor play areas including a fenced playground, a hiking trail, and a milkweed garden.
