What Makes us special? Integrated Preschool Classrooms: Classrooms are small, integrated and designed to meet the needs of three and four-year-old students. Peer partners and students with disabilities learn side by side. Research suggests that an integrated model has important implications for both groups of children. All children learn acceptance, sensitivity and positive social interactions and learn to work and play together in a community reflective of the real world.

It combines skills-based experiences and purposeful play to ensure learning. Each day teachers plan lessons that incorporate play, literacy, math, science, social studies, life skills and social emotional learning. At ECC learning is fun, hands-on and interactive. Independence: During these critical years of life students at the ECC learn basic skills toward becoming independent members of the community. They learn to take on and off their own coats, care for their belongings, appropriately ask for help when needed and take care of others when they can. Social Emotional Learning (SEL): SEL learning principles are integrated into all aspects of the school day. Children are provided with meaningful daily interactions to help them feel safe, nurtured, confident and curious. Our preschool classrooms cultivate an atmosphere of mutual respect. By providing positive behavioral interventions and support, staff at the ECC build positive relationships with children to ensure a welcoming environment and prevent challenging behaviors at school. Our mascot is Pete the Cat. We use Pete to teach the following core values; Be Kind, Be Safe, Be Ready to Learn.

Land Acknowledgment: The land we recognize today as Salem is Naumkeag, or fishing place, where generations of Indigenous Peoples lived and passed through for centuries. From the village upon the Naumkeag River (now known as the North River) to Sachem Nanepashemet’s fortification (now known as Castle Hill), the people of Naumkeag farmed, fished, traded, raised families, discovered, invented, created art, and above all else, honored the lands upon which you stand today. We acknowledge that this is Indigenous land and acknowledge the Massachusett tribe who continue to honor and hold this land into the present.
