🍎📚 BACK TO SCHOOL WITH A WHOLE LOT OF EXPERIENCE! 📚🍎

The countdown is on, and our ECC teachers are ready to welcome another group of little learners! 🎒✨

But before we jump into a new school year, we thought we’d let you see just how much experience, passion, and love for teaching is represented on our team! ❤️

Each of these signs represents more than just a number… it represents years of hugs, lessons, laughter, growth, challenges, celebrations, and countless little lives touched along the way. 🥰

Some are new to the journey, while others have been doing what they love for many years—and we’re grateful for EVERY single one of them!

Swipe through and check out the years behind our amazing ECC team! 👀👇

🎒 Different years. Different stories. ONE incredible team.

Here’s to another year of growing little minds, building big hearts, making memories, and doing what we were created to do! 💛

ECC 2026–2027… LET’S GO! 🍎✨

The Wolf Pack got to deliver the quilt and shelf to our lucky winner, Dana Nevois, today! 🥳🎁

A huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and supported the team. Your generosity helps fund Brenden’s Backpack Program, ensuring local kids have the food and resources they need. 🎒💙

We couldn't do it without this amazing community!

A huge thank you to Valle Ambulance District for stopping by and giving the kids a tour of the ambulance! 🚑✨

Your patience, kindness, and willingness to get right down on their level made all the difference. The kids had an absolute blast learning about what you do, seeing all the tools, and getting to explore. You made what can sometimes be an intimidating vehicle feel safe, exciting, and fun!

We are so grateful for everything you do to care for and serve our community! ❤️

🎉 We have a winner! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Dana Nevois for winning the gorgeous Wolf Pack blanket! 🐺✨

We also want to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who bought a ticket, candy or craft and supported our School-agers. They poured so much hard work, dedication, and love into their Lemonade stand. Your support means the world to them!

Thank you all for cheering on our young entrepreneurs. ❤️🧵

2026 Calm Before the Chaos Bash! 🎉

A team that takes time to build relationships outside of the workplace is a team that grows stronger and more unified within the walls of the Center.

Today, we took time to share a meal, lots of laughs, fun team-building games, gifts, and a little well-deserved recognition for our amazing team before we jump into the craziness of a new semester. ❤️

We also shared our verse for the year—a tradition we started last year—as well as our new team theme.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” — Colossians 3:23

Grow with Purpose. Serve with Heart.

Both feel especially fitting for a new year filled with new roles, new opportunities, and new vision. I’m so excited to see how each of us grows, not only in our roles, but together as a team and family.

Here’s to our ECC family and a new year filled with growth, new possibilities, and all that God has in store for us! 💛

Bittersweet goodbyes are never easy.

Today we celebrated Laura and the incredible legacy she leaves behind. While our hearts are sad to see her retire, we are so grateful for the years of friendship, laughter, guidance, and unwavering dedication she has given to our center and to every child, family, and coworker whose lives she touched.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to celebrate Laura, share memories, and wish her well as she begins this exciting new chapter. Seeing so many people come together is a beautiful reminder of the lives she has impacted over the years.

Laura, your presence will be deeply missed, but your legacy will continue to live on in our hearts and in the countless lives you’ve helped shape. We pray that this next season is filled with joy, peace, new adventures, and abundant blessings.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” — Numbers 6:24–26

Congratulations on your retirement, Laura! May God richly bless this next chapter. ❤️
