Partnering with Parents for Milestone Achievement
We understand the impact early childhood education such as daycare and child care has on your child’s development. Through strong partnerships with parents we developed a customized curriculum for your child and review their progress on an on-going basis. We also work with area schools and teachers to assist with the transition of our Pre-K students, increasing a smooth transition into Kindergarten and continuing the ability for customized education plans for your children.
Our Spanish Immersion Program
While focusing on the objectives of the Creative Curriculum, we at CECC can incorporate our Spanish Immersion Program for any child. Language Immersion is a new factor to Early Childhood Education. Our children will be introduced to the Spanish language on a daily basis as they are learning each subject everyday.
Language Immersion
At CECC, we let parents opt-into Spanish immersion activities. According the enter for Applied Linguistics, programs in the US have grown 94% from 1981 to 2011. The rise in popularity can be attributed to the benefits of an immersion education. Research continues to find more and more benefits which are not only academic but cognitive, creative, and social.
Students who learn in an immersion environment gain more than just an additional language. They are given skills to help them succeed for their rest of their lives.
