The ECC provides a warm and nurturing community for our families Separation occurs in a gradual and trusting manner. Staff and families work cooperatively to insure a smooth transition from home to school. The philosophy of the ECC is based upon the developmental needs of young children. Curriculum flows form the needs and interests of our children. Children have countless opportunities to actively explore, experiment, discover and interact with a variety of age appropriate materials.
Emphasis is placed on the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of each child.
A balance of teacher directed and child directed activities are provided on a daily basis. Jewish culture and the celebration of Jewish holidays are integrated into the curriculum. Concepts and skills are developed though experiences with blocks, art materials, dramatic play, science and math materials, literature and music and movement activities. Music and movement specialists work with our children on a weekly basis. Daily parent-teacher communication and family involvement are integral aspects of our program.
