We can't say enough great things about ECDC! From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and care that make this place so special. The teachers are truly wonderful—they not only nurture and support our children but also create an environment where they feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. Our 4-year-old never wants to leave at the end of the day and always asks for more time with friends and teachers. We’re so grateful to be part of the ECDC community and can’t wait for all of our children to enjoy the summer program this year!

I had two children attend ECDC-SMC for multiple years. The teachers were caring and really took an effort to get to know my children as individuals. My children are thriving in elementary school thanks to ECDC.

The staff is often in their phones and when I would show up to get my child they were not engaged with the kids. They also would not let my child go to the bathroom because they claimed that my child didn’t need to go and they didn’t have enough staff on duty to leave the room . He had an accident because of this. I wish I had called CPS looking back on the situation because I believe they knew it was a problem and tried to gaslight me making me believe it was my child’s fault for asking to go to the restroom too much. They will propose that they have 3 teachers in the room and this is a selling point but they are putting in the bare minimum.

The best preschool program in the area! Both of my children are currently attending and we have been incredibly happy with the quality of the education they are receiving both socially and academically. They have high quality, caring teachers and are accredited. My children receive speech services there and the teachers are very accommodating to their special needs. I know they will be well prepared for kindergarten and beyond. I am so happy we found ECDC!

The teachers and staff are wonderful and we're so happy with our daughter's experience here. Thankful after trying two other local daycares. As far as we've seen, this is the highest quality childcare around.
