"Play isn’t just fun — it builds life skills. 💡✨

At EECP, we see it every day: riding a trike builds balance and confidence, chase scenes build teamwork and problem-solving, and laughter builds connection.

Thanks to the generosity of alumni, families, and friends, we’re already 25% of the way toward our $18,000 goal to bring back the beloved Trike Yard with a safe new Path to Play.

Together, we can inspire play, growth, and joyful memories for years to come.

There has been lots of activity at our outdoor potion making table this week. The students enjoyed clipping herbs from the garden to smash, tear, and mix with water.
