About Us
ECDC Nursery School, Incorporated is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation offering preschool classes for three and four year-olds. ECDC is the product of the combined efforts of parents and teachers. Together we have created a program designed especially for the preschool child.
ECDC Nursery School is a parent cooperative, which allows parents to be involved in both their child’s classroom and the management of the school. Our philosophy is that young child learn through play. We believe that each child should be treated as an individual and should have the opportunity to develop at their own pace.
We have low teacher to student ratios. Typical class size is 13-15 students, two teachers and a floating assistant teacher. We use theme-based curriculum. Every two weeks, new themes are introduced for your child to explore, providing a hands-on and stimulating approach to learning. Your child will enjoy weekly music and creative movement classes and we offer enrichment programs with flexible scheduling.
Educational Cornerstones

Learn Through Play
We believe that all preschool children learn best through play. Each child is treated as an individual and has the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace. Our classroom environment reflects this philosophy with many independent choices available through the day. At ECDC, the process of learning is more important than the product.
