Community United Child Care Centers, Inc. serves all children between the ages of 6 weeks old through the summer following the child’s 4th grade. We are a multi-corporate, non-profit child development center that began in 1993 by AEA 267 , Exceptional Persons Inc. , Veridian Credit Union , Cedar Falls Schools and Waterloo Schools and Covenant Medical Center (non-active). Parent representatives from each building have been added to our Board of Directors. Our mission statement, "Partnering with families to nurture and educate tomorrow's leaders", explains how we view all our community children, as leaders in training.

Community United Child Care Centers continues to believe that leading community representatives in a discussion about children, to enrich and be enriched, to learn from and to teach each other, allows us to maintain the quality your children deserve. Your children have a right to love, laugh and cry in a setting where differences are celebrated as avenues for growth.

We have centers that are nationally accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) .
