And what do our parents have to say about our program:
“After visiting several local child care centers and talking with many other
parents of young children, we chose ECPLC Eastminster Child's Play and
Learning Center (ECPLC) because we felt like our children were actually part of
a family there. The caregivers provided not just professional care and
nurturing, but they all seem to genuinely love our kids. My daughter has since
moved on to kindergarten, and she was well-prepared socially and excels
academically, in part, due to the excellent multi-disciplinary curriculum at
ECPLC. I encourage parents looking for a safe and special learning
environment for their children to contact the center, take a tour, and talk to
other parents about their experiences.”
"Both of my children have been attending ECPLC since they were 8 weeks old.
My daughter is now 4 and my son is 2 1/2. The care, education, and creative
stimulation exceeds all expectations. Daily they learn something or mention
something that impresses me or warms my heart. The way my daughter talks
about her teacher, you can tell she truly loves you. Her teacher is respectful of
all of the children. Last week, when I walked up to the door to pick them up I
noticed on the sidewalk a couple of chalk drawings. When I got closer I
realized one was of my daughter. She was so excited to tell me that her
teacher drew her. It boosted her self esteem. You can see the joy in my
daughters face every time she sees her teacher. "
"My son when he was about 1 was quite reserved and often cried at the sight
of a new person, parent, caregiver and over the past year and a half has really
grown to enjoy friends and adults. He was the first child to scream at the top of
his lungs, "SANTA!!!!" at the ECPLC Holiday party and ran up to him. His self
esteem is nurtured daily. His primary caregiver, Ms. Dana, is wonderful with
him. She encourages him to explore, is really playful with him and just cares
about his well-being."
"I have nothing but good comments about ECPLC. From the caring of the staff
with my children to the attentiveness of the administration to my needs, ECPLC
is a wonderfully, caring, nurturing center. "
