Description: Our program provides a happy, enriching, and productive first school experience for young children. It is our firm belief that positive attitudes formed in the crucial first years will continue throughout our students’ lives, and that well-planned learning experiences in the early years will benefit not only the individual child, but the community and country as well. The EEC’s program is developmental in approach with emphasis placed on the child learning and achieving at an individually appropriate level. Within our predictable daily schedule, there is moderate structure, flexibility in attitudes and methods, and the belief that each child must be free to gain confidence in his/her abilities. There is a time for structured activities when the teacher can present cognitive training or materials to a small group. There is order and routine as children clean up, get ready for different activities, follow directions, and recognize the needs and rights of others. There is also a time for “free play†when a wide variety of materials and experiences are available for children to make choices. In the words of James Hymes, “free play is thinking time for young children, language time, problem solving time, memory time, planning time, investigating time, organization of ideas time…†In the words of young children, “free play is fun!â€
