What Our Families Are Saying…
“ECLA is a wonderful preschool that both my children have attended. The teachers are warm, patient, kind, and engaged in making activities educational. The facility is clean, organized, and safe and has a range of books, crafts, and toys for the kids to enjoy. The weekly lesson plans are thoughtfully crafted and have really engaged my kid’s love of learning.”
– Vanessa S
“We chose ECLA as our preschool for both of our kids. We have been a ECLA family for 3 years now. It is not closest preschool to our home but we don’t mind driving a few extra miles to take our kids there.“
– Charis W
“My daughter has been at ECLA for 2 years and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. Mrs. Adidi does a wonderful job of integrating learning and play in the curriculum. The kids are learning so much while also having a blast. All the teachers are caring, warm and loving. Our daughter will sometimes wake up on Saturday morning asking to go to school (we try to live up to the standards the school sets!). We’re always amazed at our daughter’s emotional intelligence she’s learned from her teachers – now she’s teaching us! I cannot wait to start my son at the school once he turns 2 this winter.
