How can we be of service?

Our team of experts combines knowledge and experience in the field of early education with HighScope curriculum to provide a rich academic foundation through direct, hands-on learning.

*Income-based tuition is available.

Early Educators are critical to early education, we support them through our Shared Services Network, Federal Food Program (CACFP) service, and Child Development Associates (CDA).

Through the ECA Shared Services Network*, early childcare providers are able to increase their revenue, save time on daily operations, and grow their businesses.
*The ECA Shared Services Network is made possible through a $100,000 grant from Early Learning Indiana.

Help us fill our Treasure Baskets for Easter! We need more new everyday objects for Heuristic Play our classrooms.Check out our Amazon Wishlist-or items can be dropped off in person. ow.ly/ufee50N76v3We have Treasure Baskets in each of our classrooms that promote Heuristic Play. This type of play encourages experimentation, trial-and-error learning, and engages the senses. As the children 'play' with the objects, they develop manipulative skills, imagination, memory, problem-solving, concentration, anticipation, sequencing, and cause and effect. #fortwayne #fortwayneindiana #fortwayneindiana #myfortwayne #northeastindiana #dtfw #fortwaynebabies #fortwaynenewborns #fortwaynebaby #earlychildhoodalliance #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodeducator #earlylearning #earlylearning101 #earlychildhoodteacher #childcare #teachers #teaching #preschool ...
