CDO is a high-quality half-day preschool that serves the families of Tarrytown United Methodist Church and the surrounding community.

We believe:

• That play is the work of children.

• That every child should be heard, loved, and accepted.

• In supporting children’s needs holistically (socially, emotionally, 
       intellectually, and spiritually through play-based experiences).

• In experienced, professional teachers.

• In respecting individual differences in children’s growth and development.

• In transparent communication and family involvement.

• In consistency in the classroom through predictable schedules and activities and by limiting transitions and enrichment activities.
