Mission
We exist to provide a childcare environment that brings out the unique genius in each child. Providing the opportunity to explore and question instruction, maximizing their life chances of becoming future leaders.
Curriculum
E.C.V.C's curriculum places high emphasis on educating the entire child. We use exploratory and active learning, to excite our children’s creativity and exploration. This binds our students emotionally to the joy of learning. This practice will in turn enhance our students to develop transitional skills for school and life.
