Great place for all children. I currently have 2 children at ECLC. My 4 year old has been there since 3 months. In the infant class he was able to learn by singing and hands-on experiences. He quickly advanced and moved to the toddler classroom. He learned his colors, numbers and how to follow very detailed directions. They also potty trained him and literally gave me a guideline to follow while at home. It was a very easy process and he was fully potty trained at 18months. In the preschool class now, he is doing kindergarten work. Besides counting 1-100, he can also recite his ABC's in reverse (I cant even do that). He's been taught sight words and is now reading books (because he actually recognizes the words). He is doing math. Yes! He can add and subtract using real techniques. He comes home with worksheets of what he's done in class for the day. It is a great place. My one year old is getting the same experience my 4 year old has received. During the summer months, the preschool and pre-k classes have a full out summer camp program. Everyday of the week in the summer they go bowling, skating, the library, the movies (and get popcorn and a drink) and even go to the splash pad- literally one of those activities each day! I will stand behind this place and the great job they do any day. Majority of the children parent work at the University in very prestigious roles. The education at the Early Childhood Learning Center is second to none!
