Notes from the Principal:

Dear ELC Families!

We have had a fantastic first few days of school. Students are already into the routine. Teachers are diving into the curriculum and the staff is excited to be a part of the first SWL pre-k program. All of our teachers are intervention specialists as well as PK-3 specialists. I can't think of a better or more qualified group of people to work with your children. Our para-educators are extremely well trained and have a true passion for what they do. Finally, our parents are top notch! I can't wait to see what this school year holds for us.

How to help your student learn

Tips for Success!

- Read, read, and read more - Exposure to reading will only increase the understanding that letters make words, words make sentences and sentences tell a story.
- Count everything - Rote counting will solidify students' understanding of numbers and lead to being able to manipulate them by adding or subtracting.
- Let your child struggle through difficult tasks like tying shoes, opening containers, carrying their food to the table, etc. - We promote independence here at the Early Learning Center.
