However, one parent reported concerns about staff behavior, a child's expulsion with minimal notice, and negative behavioral influences on their child.
Very unprofessional, small and selective place. Not a large selection of toys and very small outdoor play place. I found a new better place with amazing teachers that know what they are doing, have lessons plans, are empathic, compassionate and scaffold children to where they need to be instead of pettiness and unnecessary charges. Yes my children have thrived elsewhere, no issues and so have I with professionals who demonstrate respect and emotional intelligence in their responses. I recommend anyone with any slight of hesitation to steer far away. Health is big to me also and the new place offers healthy foods and the teachers model those behaviors. Good riddance. Have no idea what is being referred to as safety and 2 yrs later nonsense. Just ridiculous and proves my point based on your reply. You violated my rights to privacy by contacting another daycare of which I willingly disclosed. Violate my privacy rights again and I will defend my family and take action. Enough is enough with discriminatory daycares such as yourselves.
I had my older daughter enrolled here in 2017 and my husband, myself and my daughter loved the school. I have to refer to it as a school because the curriculum is top notch and unlike any other child care facility. So once I had my second child it was a given that she would be attending ECC as well. The staff is welcoming and pleasant the facility is immaculate and any questions or concerns are welcome for discussion. The menu is amazing as well. The children eat better than I do on most days. They also expose the children to different things, cultures, etc. This year they are learning Spanish! I cannot forget to mention they also have chorus and music (learning to play the recorder) . It has been a pleasant experience since day one and I am blessed and proud to forever be apart of the ECC family!!!!!
My child has burst into this social butterfly after attending ECC. He’s excelling tremendously in his verbal and writing skills. I’ve noticed after going to this school it has enhanced his phonics when it comes to his reading. He’s able to tell me each letter and their sounds without assistance. He has become more compelled to try to read on his own at home as opposed to me reading to him. He enjoys completing his take home assignments. He knows all of his shapes and numbers beyond 20. ECC is a school full of sunlight literally. The facility is clean, spacious and organized. ECC takes the children on marvelous fields trips to museums, pumpkin patches and the list goes on. They take exceptional care in the safety of each child while on these field trips. I amongst many parents have witness this while chaperoning. When they can’t go out to explore the outer world they bring the fun to school. You name it they have it, from fun in the sun on their playground, real dinosaurs bones brought in by guest, dentist that come in to teach the children about their dental hygiene, science projects that the teachers assist them with to explore new outcomes. They have musical instruments like pianos, violins, drums and more that musicians affiliated with the school will come to show and have the children engage in. They offer the children the ability to learn a second and third language. My favorites is the after school movie and dance nights with the families. This school is extraordinary given its location and how much they have managed to provided our children. To the teachers that exercise patience and diligence in our children’s education and safety. The ECC community of parents that support the extracurricular activities of the school making it possible for our children to experience a variety of new things and excel while doing so. I am extremely grateful to how found this diamond in the rough. Thank you ECC!
We are so happy that we found this school. My daughter loves going to school and her teachers. Everyone at the school is great. I don’t know how they do what they do but I’m amazed at how much she knows for her age. They have trips and activities in the school that teaches them about all different cultures. They are always thinking of new ways to do fun things with and for the kids and their families.
My daughter started at ECC in 2017. When I first visited the school, I was welcomed with a smile and the facility was clean and very well maintained. My daughter felt very comfortable and didn't even want to leave the school. ECC is a preschool with an amazing curriculum, I noticed a difference only a couple of months after my child started. The kids are very advanced and are grasping new subjects very quickly. The teachers are very caring and passionate. My daughter is very happy with the school and it shows. I believe enrolling my child was the best investment I've ever made in my daughter's future. Thank you ECC for making a difference in my child's life.
