        Philosophy:

        We believe that nurturing creativity and natural inquiry provides the greatest opportunity for overall development of the whole child. Through partnerships with our community and families, we strive to provide our students with the supports they need to become independent successful lifelong learners.

        E.L.C utilizes the Reggio-Inspired, Creative Curriculum. This Curriculum promotes developmentally appropriate natural inquiry and play-based learning.

        Every classroom utilizes Teaching Strategies Gold for assessment of student learning. All E.L.C programming is designed to exceed state standards for quality in pre-kindergarten.

        E.L.C. welcomes the YMCA Camp Copneconic nature based education program. We have partnered to bring nature based education to our full day GSRP students 4 days a week during the 20-21 school year. 

        G.S.R.P. 

        *free preschool to qualifying families.

        The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is Michigan's state-funded preschool program for four-year-old children with factors which may place them at risk of educational failure. The program is administered by the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Great Start. Funding is allocated to each intermediate school district to administer the program locally.
        Research on preschool programs and specific research on GSRP indicates that children provided with a high-quality preschool experience show significant positive developmental differences when compared to children from the same backgrounds who did not attend a high-quality preschool program.

        "These materials were developed under a grant awarded by the Michigan Department of Education."
