MCCA started its work in 1968 as a Community Action Project of the War on Poverty and has been providing child care for more than 50 years. It is a nonprofit child care provider that strives to deliver high quality child care and play-based education for children in Montgomery County, professional training for child care providers, and advocacy for affordable quality child care for families of all income levels and better training, pay, and benefits for child care professionals. MCCA is the oldest nonprofit licensed child care provider in Montgomery County and operates licensed and accredited child care programs that are open to all and admit children of any race, color, national and ethnic origin and do not discriminate on various protected bases.
MCCA teachers and aides meet or exceed all professional requirements as established by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), Office of Child Care and participate in the MSDE Child Care Credentialing program. The Infant and Toddler Program offers a warm environment centered on growth and development with caregivers forming strong bonds through attentive care, cuddling, and play. The Preschool Program follows the Creative Curriculum and is aligned with MSDE standards, and the School Age Program provides before and after-school care where children can unwind and enjoy time with friends.
MCCA provides early education and STEM programs in diverse communities where children of all income levels and ethnic groups play and learn together, and it provides high-quality child care and early education for families of all income levels and ethnic groups while striving to meet the unique and diverse child care needs for every child in its programs. Child guidance techniques focus on respect, trust, honesty, and caring for others, and use distraction and redirection with the youngest children. Teachers actively model problem solving techniques, engage children in discussion and implementation of logical consequences of inappropriate behavior, periodically conduct child assessments, and develop plans to guide classroom behavior, and conferences may be scheduled with families to address more challenging behaviors or other developmental issues.
MCCA provides professional training for child care providers, offers customized professional development to all staff, and encourages higher levels of education through scholarships and other incentives. It has been recognized by the Maryland State Legislature for its commitment to Montgomery County child care for more than 50 years, including a 2016 Proclamation for its commitment to Montgomery County child care and special needs child care. MCCA was selected as a 2018 nonprofit finalist for a MOXIE Award for boldness and innovation, and the Richard Krampf Summer Adventures Scholarship Fund was established to help provide children a safe and stimulating place to spend weeks when school is out.
