ECU
The
Early Childhood Unit is comprised of a group of thirty children
who range in age from four years and nine months to six years.
The five day program, served by a team of three teachers, begins
at 8:15 a.m. and ends at noon. ASEP is available until 5:30pm
to parents who are unable to pick up their child at noon. The
Early Childhood Unit provides a predictable and secure atmosphere
in which children can function independently and productively.
Experiences that foster satisfying relationships with peers and
adults are provided, along with an atmosphere in which the child
will develop a positive self image. Children are encouraged to
exercise choices which lead to discovery, experimentation, and
self-expression. Based on individual and group needs, the Early
Childhood Unit serves as a foundation for increasing skill and
knowledge in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science,
art, music, physical education, social-emotional and spiritual
growth.
