EC3-Educational Child Care Center

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! 🌼✨

EC3 children, teachers, and staff have spent the past week celebrating the Week of the Young Child.

Meet the Tiger Room creation, "Tony the Tiger" -- a smiling addition to our welcome table, brightening our days ever since!
