The Three’s Program at the ECC helps children grow and learn in a nurturing and creative environment. There is a transitional period at the start of the school year to help kids become comfortable in their new classroom. This year is an amazing time of growth for children. They come to recognize their autonomy. They want to explore, develop friendships, build their interests, assert their authority, and come back for a hug. They want to sit in a lap for a story, build high towers with blocks, create masterpieces, play their own game of tag, and dig in the sand. They want to do things on their own but hold an adult hand along the way.

The Three’s team includes long-time ECC faculty members Nancy Garro and Debbie DiBetta, who have both been at the school since 1989, and Silvana Collabolletta and Louise Convey , who joined in 2002 and 2007, respectively. Additional faculty includes Margo Markowitz, Pattie Creaturo and Laura Windisch. These teachers are honored to share the journey with their three year old students and to learn and grow with them!

The core program runs from 9am to 12pm and parents have the choice to send their children 2, 3 or 5 days a week:

• The 2-day program is on Tuesdays and Thursdays

• The 3-day program is on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

• The 5-day program is every weekday

Lunch Bunch, Creative Kids, and Extended Day Options are all available for the Three’s.
