For Our Families
The ECC community prides itself on creating a safe space for coming together to support the entire family unit, not just the children enrolled in our programs.
Our directors, who have extensive backgrounds in child development and early education, have an open door policy for all members of our community, and provide guidance and support through all the parenting and development challenges of raising young children.
Our loving, experienced, and diverse educators with backgrounds in Judaic learning, Reggio Emilia, and special education are also always willing to engage in helpful conversations about the unique needs of each child.
Our leaders will also provide guidance and support as families explore kindergarten options.
