About the Provider

Description: The Carlisle Early Education Center (CEEC) was started in 1964 by the YWCA as the Carlisle Day Care Center. Since its inception the Center has sought to provide nuturing and stimulating learning experiences for children. Carlisle Early Education Center is a private, local, non-profit agency. CEEC is managed by a Board of Directors made up of Carlisle area citizens and parents of the children in the programs. The Philosophy of CEEC is to incorporate learning into every aspect of the child's day. CEEC believes in developing a positive self-image, developing qualities of independence, initiative, and motivation while encouraging children to develop self-control and self-discipline appropriate to their ages. CEEC provides a nuturing environment where children are exposed to the creative arts and a range of experiences in their community. These principles prepare children for the challenges they will face in elementary school as well as in life.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The staff had been extremely rude and borderline abusive to many of the children... When outside most of the staff can be seen in one area just kind of hanging out talking rather then watching or interacting with the kids!
