Our staff is a diverse group of individuals with a over 75-years of combined experience.  Without these people,  our program would not be what it is today.  We hire people who are interested in bringing quality to a child's day, whether these children are with us for as short as 3 hours or 10 hours a day.  We make sure to learn, pray, share and have fun everyday.  No preschooler could ask for a better teacher than what they will have at ECM.

Our Infant and Toddler programs are unique.  We allow for 3 classes within these age groups, dividing our younger and older toddlers.  We are able to handle infants as early as 6 weeks old.  These children are exposed to soothing and lively music throughout the day.  They have a variety of activity centers to engaged their eyes and hands.  Our Bye Bye Buggies (a four seat stroller) is used by the younger ages.  The younger and older toddlers enjoy outside time with a playground equipped with just their size swings and climbers.

Classes for our 2’s, 3’s and Pre-K children are separated into Part and Full-time classes.  The part-time classes are set up to have children coming on partial days of the week for our 2's and 3's.  Our Part-time Pre-K classes have a 5 day “Extended Day” program, 2 Three day programs and 1 Four Day program.  

Our Full time 2’s, 3’s and Pre-K function separately from our Part-time classes.  These children have developed their own “family” as many of these children have been together since the infant room.  Imagine having 14, 16 or 18 children all of the same age, every day, all day.  Our staff creates that “home” feeling for the children as we share meal time and for the younger children a quiet rest period as well.
