About Us
The Claremont United Church of Christ Early Childhood Center is a non- profit organization. The center is governed by the Church Council of Claremont United Church of Christ, Congregational, and through the Early Childhood Center Board. We serve the entire community and admit students of any race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin.
Our curriculum is planned by the teachers, providing age appropriate activities to meet the needs of each individual child. Not all of the activities provided will be a product to take home. We provide a curriculum that helps children to develop positive concepts of self and respect for others.
We Believe
That each child is a unique individual.
​
In encouraging the development of each child’s positive self-esteem and individuality.
​
In devotion to the needs and interests of the individual child.
​
In child–centered environments that allow children to work and play at his/her own pace.
Our teachers are qualified, dedicated, experienced and sensitive in caring for your child. Our staff continues their education through workshops, conferences and college courses. Our staff also holds credentials from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing Child Development Permits and degrees in Child Development.
"Moving from Los Angeles to Claremont in 2020, we were nervous about finding the right environment for our children—but choosing ECC was the best decision we could have made. As a parent and an educator with nearly 20 years of professional experience, I am incredibly selective about early childhood programs.I can say with full confidence that ECC doesn't just nurture children; it prepares them. My middle child left ECC socially and academically ready to truly thrive in elementary school, and my youngest is currently in the program and fully prepared for the transition to TK. The dedication of the staff and the intentionality of the curriculum are second to none. I believe wholeheartedly in this school and recommend it to any family seeking a high-quality, foundational education for their children."
