Early Childhood Center

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the East Woods Early Childhood Center (ECC), where we integrate learning and fun seamlessly. For over thirty-three years, I’ve witnessed two-to-five-year-olds eagerly embrace their school days, reluctant to leave at the end of the day. Our beautiful grounds and warm teachers create a welcoming environment where children learn about birds, fish, planets, and more in engaging ways. The ECC is a joyful space where our youngest members are nurtured and prepared for their academic journey.

Our program includes Pre-Nursery, Nursery, and Pre-Kindergarten, offering a half-day, Monday-Friday schedule. We focus on developing social, emotional, physical, creative, and cognitive skills through small class sizes, personal attention, and a rich thematic curriculum. Students enjoy weekly classes in library, music, physical education, and Spanish, with Nursery and Pre-K students also using our state-of-the-art science lab.

Whether you’re a current or prospective parent, please explore our site to learn more about our curriculum and programs. Welcome to East Woods

The Early Childhood Center, which is a pre-school for students in Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Pre-Kindergarten, addresses the social, emotional, physical, creative, and intellectual development of young children. Storytelling and role-playing stimulate a child’s natural curiosity while educational games develop the building blocks for vital studies. Ultimately, the program aims to make children happy, curious, and eager to learn.
