Loveland Early Childhood Center Preschool

The Loveland Early Childhood Center serves all Loveland kindergarten students preschoolers and a portion of the districts first graders. Approximately 600 students attend LECC – all of them very special!

Our kindergarten and preschool programs are a half-day everyday format (no preschool classes on Fridays). Whether a student will attend AM or PM preschool or kindergarten is largely determined by busing. In general all Clermont County and Warren County students attend the AM session and all Hamilton County students attend the PM session.

With a staff of about fifty including three preschool nine kindergarten and six first grade teachers LECC boasts a committed child-centered and professional team. We have a strong focus on literacy combined with a rich and varied exposure across many curriculum areas.

School visits/tours are available on a scheduled basis although due to demand and classroom interruption we cannot offer in-class observation to visitors.

Kindergarten Entry Age Policy
Any child reaching age 5 by September 30th of the upcoming school year is eligible to enroll. Registration packets are available at the front office. These packets are comprehensive and must be picked up at the school. Sometimes parents question if their child is ready for kindergarten or should wait another year. Unfortunately there is no perfect formula to determine whether or not a child is truly ready for kindergarten. Here are some facts to consider for Kindergarten Readiness:

Preschool Enrollment
Students ages 3 5 enter our preschool program through a comprehensive evaluation process with an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). For typically developing preschool children we do not routinely offer enrollment throughout the year. Applications for these students for the next school year are due by early January of every year.
