Our Classrooms

Children enrolling in the CEEC program come from diverse backgrounds and bring their individual personalities and experiences. Because all children share a curiosity and openness to learning about their world, the CEEC program focuses on the process of learning. Our goal is to provide opportunities for success, allowing children space and time to explore, create, and learn at their own pace, using their own style.
