Programs for Preschoolers

The ECC Early Childhood Lab School is staffed by highly trained professionals with advanced degrees in child development and related fields. They are dedicated to the philosophy that every child is an individual, each with their own unique style and pace of learning. This commitment ensures a personalized approach to each child’s development. The lab school provides a nurturing and inclusive environment for children to explore and grow. Its full range of learning and developmental activities helps children reach their potential, promoting cognitive and social-emotional development. The staff collaborates closely with families to meet each child’s individual needs. This partnership supports children in becoming confident and capable learners.
