Partnership For Kids
Our Philosophy
We believe the educational development and success of children can be significantly enhanced when they participate in early childhood programs and services. At ECC we implement a curriculum and instructional practices which align with the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards. We are committed to assisting each child in the development of a strong foundation for learning.
Our Mission
We will provide an environment for our students which facilitate the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of each child, from birth through age five, in preparation for lifelong learning
Our Values
-All children develop through active learning by making choices, exploring their environment and interacting with others.
-All children are unique and have the right to develop to their greatest potential.
-Education is a partnership between school, home and the community.
-All children should be respected, and encouraged while in a safe and caring environment.
Your Baby was Born to Learn
