The mission of Community Early Childhood Center is to provide a warm, nurturing, safe, and loving environment where self-concepts are enhanced, independence is encouraged and individualities are respected.

Community Early Childhood Center believes that children are our most valuable resource. We have the opportunity to influence who they will be someday.
