We provide children with an active learning High/Scope cognitive curriculum. Active learning involves children in direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, ideas, and events. It helps them to become independent, responsible, and confident, which in turn will get them ready for success in school. Children are provided choices in the way they manipulate a variety of open-ended materials, as well as adults who support their choices and listen to them.
We believe that each child is unique and develops at his or her own rate. Consequently, an environment that is rich in activities filled with time for individual pursuits and led by a warm and nurturing staff, allows a child to develop secure trust in adults, social relationships with other children, a positive self-concept and the foundation for cognitive development.The ECC is accredited by the the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Since 1985, NAEYC's national, voluntary accreditation system has set professional standards for early childhood education programs, and helped families identify high-quality programs for their young children.
