Where We Play to Learn
The Early Childhood Center (ECC) is celebrating 40 years of offering a positive preschool experience for two-, three- and four-year-old students! Our highly qualified teachers plan developmentally appropriate class activities geared to stimulate learning through exploration while encouraging independence.
ECC families applaud our very small class sizes, experienced teachers and flexible programs. Many families, especially those with two working parents, are able to take advantage of our first-rate Early Morning Drop and After-School Child Care programs. Parents voted ECC "Best for Families 2010" and "Best for Families 2011" in the annual Washington Family Magazine survey.
Located on a beautiful campus in downtown Rockville, we are easily accessible from many areas of Montgomery County, including King Farm, Derwood, Gaithersburg, North Potomac, Kentlands, Germantown, Bethesda, Silver Spring and Olney.
We encourage you to come take a tour of our school, so that you can experience firsthand how "we play to learn" every day!
Thanks so much for visiting our site!
