The ECDC program seeks to enhance the growth and development of the whole child through a developmentally appropriate curriculum. The curriculum equally fosters cognitive social emotional physical and creative growth through experience-based hands-on learning activities and play. A central goal is the promotion of each childs self confidence and love of learning. Learning experiences with peers and teachers encourage the development of the 4Rs: respect responsibility resourcefulness and responsiveness. The ECDC program believes that the 4Rs are the foundation blocks for democratic living. ECDC provides a positive and nurturing environment within which young children thrive. We view ourselves as an extension of each childs family. As such we work to develop a genuine partnership with parents. ECDC teachers and staff recognize and celebrate the diversity of our children and families. We are committed to establishing an anti-bias curriculum that supports our multicultural community. ECDC welcomes students of any race color religion gender and national or ethnic origin.
