It is my pleasure to welcome you to the ECLC website. I hope you find it informative and helpful - as well as giving you a glimpse of the quality program we offer our youngest learners. We provide a dynamic and exciting program where children are encouraged and guided to reach their full potential.

Parent support and involvement is critical to the success of our school and this website is one way to strengthen the bond between school and home. While it contains a great deal of information about our program there may be things that need further clarification. Please feel free to contact me at school if you have any further questions.

At ECLC we endeavor to provide all students with a fun, engaging and holistic learning environment where they feel safe, respected and loved. Our teachers put children at the center of the program - offering experiences and activities that encourage and promote every child's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. We understand that children grow and develop at their own pace. Classroom instruction is differentiated to allow all children to be challenged while feeling successful in all aspects of the program - regardless of their stage of development. We view a child's individual developmental level as moving along a continuum and we recognize that movement is not always smooth or predictable. Simply put, the needs and abilities of each child is the primary factor that guides the program.

For those parents currently looking for an Early Childhood program for your child, please feel free to stop by or make an appointment for a tour. We are very proud of our school and would be happy to show you what we have to offer.

Best regards,
Andy Whitney
