Philosophy
and Goals
The ETFC Preschool program was established to provide a safe, fun, socially interactive, high-quality, educational environment for children 3-5 years of age. The staff recognizes the importance of balanced growth, so they provide opportunities for social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth through a variety of creative and educational experiences. Children are encouraged to learn and explore at their own pace in literacy rich areas that interest them. We are pleased that you have chosen to include us in the development of your child.
