New College Child Center

Affiliated with New College of Florida and located on its north Sarasota campus, NCCC provides early childhood education of the highest quality for children ages 1–5 for members of the New College of Florida community as well as for families throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties. Founded in 2006, NCCC was designed to take full advantage of New College of Florida’s arts- and science-centered campus to nurture curiosity and discovery in arts, science, language, and cultures while fostering independence, confidence, and peer interaction.

At NCCC, we believe that by building an inclusive environment where children are recognized first as peers and members of their social group they will learn to create and celebrate a community that is rich in diverse abilities, skills, and cultures. To this end, we do not exclude or subject to discrimination any student, family, staff member, or volunteer based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, political beliefs, cultural heritage, or any other protected status.
