Clayton Early Childhood Center provides a safe, nurturing, and loving educational environment for children ages six weeks to five years in an intimate, schoolhouse setting.

CECC’s exceptional teachers are committed to providing engaging, challenging, and developmentally appropriate lessons and play that address the needs and interests of each child, demonstrate the value of community, and foster an eagerness to learn.

Our Philosophy

Professionalism: In order to cultivate excellence and encourage innovation across our programs, CECC provides and supports ongoing education and professional development for all faculty and staff.

Reciprocity: In order to foster trust, respect, and collaboration, CECC promotes regular, open communication between all members of our school community.

Community: In order to nurture our students as global citizens, CECC embraces the diversity and complexity of their families and backgrounds, and seeks opportunities for shared experience.

Discovery: In order to engage and challenge our students, CECC promotes active, hands-on learning, letting children find their own way with teachers as their guides, and emphasizing the joy of learning.

Transparency: In order to fairly represent all members of our school community, CECC commits to both a spirit and a practice of openness in all activities.

Sustainability: In order to ensure the long-term health of our school and our broader community, CECC commits to developing responsible and prudent policies that take into account all stakeholders, as well as the natural world.
