EC3-Educational Child Care Center

Heads up EC3 families! Our kiddos are trying to collect the weight of a black rhino (800 lbs!!) in food for our summer food drive. 🦏🥫🥖🥕 You CAN help by contributing your CANS and other nonperishable food items. 😁 Boxes are set up by each classroom, or donations CAN be added to the welcome table in the front!

What an exciting week at EC3 -- Pruess Pets will be visiting us Thursday July 2, and we are closed Friday July 3. Happy Fourth of July! (Our photo is teacher Ehricka's leopard gecko -- cool animals are always welcome visitors in many of our classes!)

A reminder to all: EC3 will be closed this Friday, July 3rd!

Thank you for making EC3's safety week so special! Our summer campers learned the importance of recognizing and responding to fire fighters, and our younger kiddos loved the chance to sit up in the fire truck!

Look what's growing on at EC3!!! 🌱🌻🍅 ...It may not look like much now, but we're sure our garden will produce big things this summer! It's year 3 of our community garden, and EC3 students are learning about what it takes to grow and care for different plants.

We had an amazing time at the Spring Carnival & Silent Auction! Thanks to everyone who came out — together we raised over $7000 for EC3 Building Improvements, enjoyed games, great food and music, and community spirit. Congrats to our silent auction winners and a huge thank-you to volunteers and sponsors who made it happen! 🎉🌷

🌱 EC3 Spring Spruce Up Volunteer Day 🌱
What a beautiful day made even better by an incredible community! Volunteers of all ages came together to spread fresh mulch, prep our sensory garden, hang the new sunshade, and give the picnic tables a much‑needed refresh. Kids and adults alike rolled up their sleeves, laughed, worked hard, and showed what’s possible when community comes together.
When we show up for one another, beautiful things truly happen—and our campus is a perfect example of that spirit in action. 💚
Keep an eye out for future volunteer opportunities, including our upcoming Spring Carnival and helping plant, expand, and maintain our community garden this year. We can’t wait to keep building something special together! 🌼✨
