WELCOME TO
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
The ECC is open to children ages 2 to 5, and  includes two-, three- and five-day programs. The ECC curriculum is based on the Reggio Emilia philosophy, recognized internationally as an exemplary model of early childhood education and currently garnering great interest across the United States. Hallmarks of Reggio education are: a creative, stimulating and beautiful environment; an emergent curriculum drawn from the children's interests; collaborative project work including frequent outdoor experiences; in-depth art projects based in the 'atelier' or art studio; daily documentation of students' experiences; and parents as important and valued partners. The Reggio philosophy is an excellent fit with the Community School mission and program.

After an extensive renovation to the Elementary School facility in the summer of 2010, we welcomed the first class of 26 students to the ECC in that fall. We are currently accepting applications to for the 2011-2012 school year. For questions or more information, please contact Director of Admissions Katie Robins.
