About The ECC

History of Our Early Childhood Center

Our Early Childcare Center is the only church sponsored NAEYC accredited childcare center in the city!

We accept children from 6 weeks through Pre-K. We also offer after-school care through age fourteen.

Our entire staff holds certifications and many have been with the center for over 10 years. We offer flexible care schedules. Care is provided by contract based on requested number of days and hours. Contracts are written for the academic school year. Contracts are also available for the summer program (for the months June, July and August).

For the past 30 years, we have had the privilege of contributing daily to each child’s growth and development, which has immeasurable rewards. Our school is dedicated to providing our families with the best programs in a stable, safe and learning-structured environment.
