Description: The Early Childhood Center is operated as an outreach ministry of West Market Street United Methodist Church. The ECC has consistently maintained a five star license with the NC Division of Child Development. We offer a developmentally appropriate program with attention to differing needs, interests and abilities.
The Early Childhood Center enrolls children 4 weeks through 5 years. The ECC offers a transitional kindergarten program designed for older 4's and young 5's as a bridge between pre-K and kindergarten. Our after school program limits enrollment to pre-k and kindergarten children.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
