Goals of Early Learning Center (ELC)
-
The goal of the West Chicago Early Childhood program is to offer learning opportunities that are best for all children, ages birth to five.
Those learning opportunities will include:
The development of partnership with families.
An environment that recognizes young children’s natural curiosity and facilitates learning through active play.
Activities that promote confidence, problem-solving, risk-taking and cooperation.
Therefore, in our program one will see early childhood educators facilitating children of all abilities who are actively engaged in meaningful, hands-on play experiences that reflect each child’s needs, interests, culture and life experiences.
