My daughter attends 3K at the Annex and we couldn't be happier with how the school year has gone thus far. She's always learning something new and loves going to school. The environment is warm and welcoming and its clear the teachers all love what they do and the kids.
CECC is such a wonderful community - they were recommended to us by a neighbor and it stood out to me on our pre-enrollment visit how calm and happy all of the kids seemed there. That first impression held up throughout our experience with them. Our daughter joined for the 2 y/o nursery program (with the wonderful Ms. Springer as her primary teacher) and continued on to 3-K and loved her teachers and classmates every step of the way. The price is really reasonable particularly compared to other centers in the area and it’s hard to imagine finding another place that strikes a better balance between thoughtfully helping your child learn and develop and letting them play and have fun. It’s a great place for kids to grow socially, too. My daughter and her classmates from CECC are so good at playing together and talking through their little interpersonal challenges, and I really credit the environment CECC has created for that.
We enrolled our son in CECC's nursery program for this past September and could not be happier with the education he is receiving, and all the fun he is having! He is already a social little guy but his teachers (as well as those who are not directly teaching him) work to further develop his skills (social, knowledge). He comes home singing songs and asking about his teachers by name which makes us smile...it takes me back to when I was a child singing the same songs too! ;) It is obvious how much CECC is valued in the community and that the school itself is its own little community which I am sure explains their 40 year success 🙌 Enrolling your child here is a decision you will not regret! 😁
Both of our most prized possessions (our 2 children) has attended CECC. My oldest started during the pandemic and despite the times CECC did an excellent job. My daughter learned so much. They really advanced her in her studies. She left Pre-K starting to read, write and comfortable expressing herself. She transitioned to Public school where she has excelled and we owe it to CECC for setting the foundation for her. Our now 2 year old attends and he loves it. We can truly see his progression. The teachers are always so welcoming and many are like family to us. My family is extremely pleased and thankful for CECC for Supporting us with our children education!
My husband and I are beyond grateful for CECC. Our daughter attends the elementary and is currently a 4th grader. When she attended the main building 6 years ago it was great but this experience with our son is exceptional. The communication is outstanding, the curriculum is thorough, the comfort, love and care for the little ones is satisfying. Small school community. The school is worth every single penny. We are extremely pleased and would recommend this school to anyone seeking great child care for their littles. Thank you to the entire CECC staff
