Martin Luther King, Jr. ECC

Instruction

At Martin Luther King, Jr. Early Childhood Center our faculty understands the influence of the family, community and culture on learning and development of the young child in an emotionally safe and healthy environment. Our goal as early childhood educators is to promote an environment that nurtures and encourages the physical, emotional, cognitive growth and development of all children. MLK, Jr. ECC functions as a learning community in which the children assume responsibility for themselves and one another and work collaboratively and independently while engaging in purposeful learning activities.  We encourage individual and group activities and create and modify the environment and curricular experiences to meet the individual needs of all young children.
