How long is your waiting list?

We work from a waiting list based on the child’s age. Our Family Support Coordinator will contact you when a spot becomes available. We will contact you monthly via email to update your contact information and confirm that you still wish to remain on our waiting list.

We are not able to provide an estimate at this time and do apologize for the inconvenience.

Will my child be ready for kindergarten?

ECA classrooms follow the HighScope curriculum, which provides children ages birth through five with the experiences necessary to build the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in kindergarten. We believe that partnering with families is a critical component to ensure all children are ready for kindergarten when leaving ECA Learning Programs.
