The Children’s Collective has helped my kids in so many ways. My daughter that is now 11 attended TCCI and now my 3-year-old son attends. I highly recommend them. My son loves his teachers and he has grown so much since he’s been at school. Thank you, Children’s Collective!
JudieParent at Casa Childcare Center
My son Luis has shown tremendous growth during his two years here. At the beginning, he came in with a rough start in terms of behavior and socializing, along with struggling to maintain focus.

Although thanks to Ms. Liz and her staff, Luis has been able to pick up a lot of learning, socialization, and the ability to follow along to anything. Ms. Liz and her staff have done a wonderful job and definitely put in the work to help everyone.

ColumbaParent at Concord Childcare Center
Concord Preschool has been a positive experience for my son's social, emotional, and intellectual childhood development in preparedness for Elementary. The site supervisor, Dilcia Coto, always has awesome ideas for the kids to interact and learn.

The classroom is always neat, clean, organized, and set up with different stations ready for kids to play and learn. The staff (Ms. Nancy, Ms. Ashley and Ms. Sosa) are great and have been very helpful to my son and myself. Most of his time here has been through COVID, and we are grateful the school remained open while many remained close. The school followed protocols and gave children the opportunity to continue with social interaction and learning in a school setting. We thank all staff for all that you do, we will definitely miss you guys when my son starts kindergarten!

DelmiParent at Concord Childcare Center
I have been with this school since 2018 when my first son was three years old. It was a great learning environment and a great school. My son is now eight, and I’ve continued with the program for my three-year-old daughter.

It continues to be a good school and I’ve only heard positive feedback from other parents enrolled in the program. I am an active parent and plan to continue supporting the teachers at this school. Thank you!

SilveriaParent at Concord Childcare Center
I am very grateful for TCCI because this program has helped my daughter so much. I recommend this school, as the staff are polite, responsible, and very caring with the children. The program does a great job of preparing the kids for kindergarten.
DianaParent at Concord Childcare Center
My two kids have attended TCCI’s Concord Preschool from 2018 to 2023. I am very grateful to the school, the teachers, and their dedication to the children. It is more than a school for the kids, as the staff does a lot to provide the families with resources so that we can thrive.

I am grateful for the information they give regarding other community resources that are available. With their support, I have been able to work and better the life of my family. I am able to speak to the staff in Spanish, which has been very helpful for me. We have peace of mind that our kids aren’t just in a preschool class, but that they will be taken care of throughout the day. I have so much appreciation for the school and the people who work here. Thank you for your help and support. I 100% recommend this school!

My twins have been enrolled at this school for almost a year. I am so grateful that the school had space for my children and for all the support that they offer. They go the extra mile to help out our families. I am very grateful to Ms. Dilcia Coto for all her help and may God bless her for the work she does.
MariaParent at Concord Childcare Center
I began my first journey with Black Infant Health in 2019 with my firstborn. During that pregnancy I suffered with depression and postpartum. BIH was instrumental in getting me the help I needed to start my healing journey. In 2022, I was pregnant with my second daughter and I returned.

BIH provided resources that helped me when I struggled with breastfeeding. Through the program’s group support, I was also able to recognize the early symptoms of postpartum and get the help that I needed. TCCI’s BIH program has been a pillar amongst black mothers who need the support.
