Clayton Early Childhood Center

Clayton Early Childhood Center Exceptional education for children six weeks to five years in St. Louis, MO. At first, conversations took place in hallways. Then, on the telephone.

Clayton Early Childhood Center began as a partnership between parents and teachers who imagined a school that would provide loving, creative, and thoughtful education to children from their very first weeks of life. Soon, emails began to fly. This initial group became a committee, began to share their talents and formalize their ideas. More emails, phone calls, conversations in the hall. Momentum

built and the future of CECC came into focus: An intimate, educational community where families and teachers work together to support their children’s health, happiness, development, and learning. Today, CECC offers top-notch care and education in a tranquil, homelike setting, at competitive tuition rates, with flexible, full-day programs – 7:30 am to 6:00 pm – that help meet the needs of working parents without additional before- or after-school care. We work to build long-term relationships with the families we serve, and consider the opportunity to share in their children’s growth and development to be a great responsibility and privilege. Our school is a nonprofit, cooperative effort. We are committed to maintaining responsible, transparent, and flexible practices to ensure that the organization will grow and evolve with its members. Clayton Early Childhood Center is a non-profit educational organization, fully licensed in the state of Missouri.
