At Country Day the Early Childhood Center's (ECC) goal is to provide each child an environment which offers developmentally appropriate activities to encourage social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth as well as personal responsibility. The 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio promotes individualized attention and encourages a love of learning.
