ABOUT US

The Highland High School professional community acknowledges a critical need to prepare high school students with adequate skills and knowledge of appropriate childcare practices; our full-time childcare center is one of three Child Development Training centers (CDTC) in the Salt Lake School District. CDTC is a component of the Career and Technical (CTE) Education Department’s Family and Human Development program.

The goals of CDTC are:

• To provide a training center for high school students to employ their learning/training through participation in child development and childcare classes.
• To provide a pathway for students to earn their Child Development Associate (CDA) certification upon graduation.
• To provide affordable, high-quality childcare for Salt Lake City School District employees’ children and children in our surrounding community.
• To provide a safe, nurturing, and age-appropriate learning environment for children six weeks through five years of age.

High Quality childcare can make a big difference in the future of a child and the community. The mission of the Highland High Child Development Training Center (CDTC) is to ensure that the program is organized and focused to meet the needs of ALL involved: children, high school students, teachers, and parents. It is also to provide a high-quality learning experience for the children and high school students.

ENROLLMENT
The Highland High CDTC serves children of employees of the Salt Lake City School District. Children must be two months of age, up to five years old. Highland High staff members have priority when openings occur. When available, spots may be given to community families after all interested district employees have been served.

Highland High CDTC maintains an active waiting list. Being placed on the waiting list does not guarantee enrollment.

HOURS OF OPERATION
Highland High CDTC is open 5 days a week, Monday through Friday 7:15am - 4:30pm and aligns with the Highland High School traditional school year. The CDTC is closed every day that Highland High School is not in session, because the participating High School students are an important part of the program. Highland High - Calendars
