OUR MISSION

.

The mission of the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) is to create successful, lifelong learners by providing developmentally appropriate early childhood education and support services. ECLC programs and staff strive to assist children in all aspects of learning and development. We recognize families as valued partners in the educational process and offer many opportunities for family involvement.

 

OUR HISTORY

The Early Childhood Learning Center was established in 2002, in an effort to bring together each of the various early childhood education programs within IUSD. As Los Naranjos Elementary School was closed, the ECLC took its place. Today, ECLC staff are highly trained and qualified professionals, teaching in a developmentally appropriate environment using curriculum and materials based on best-practice research in early childhood education. Programs seize the unique opportunity to provide a continuum of services, collaborate together to share resources, and to offer a range of early childhood educational experiences to Irvine families. We strive to support our students and encourage success throughout their early educational experiences and beyond.

Each program has a unique focus, educational philosophy, and goals for pursuing excellence in early childhood education. All four programs work collaboratively to ensure success and offer support to students and families.
