About Englewood Early Childhood Education Program


The Englewood Schools ECE program serves children with a variety of educational needs, including children with identified special education needs, through preschool and child care services. Our goal is to help each child develop a positive self-image, a positive attitude toward learning, and to support children's social and educational development.

All children participate in enriching activities based on the Creative Curriculum model with additional research-based programs used to supplement instruction so that we can best meet the academic and social-emotional needs of every child.

The ECE program utilizes funding from Head Start, Universal PreKindergarten Program (UPK), Title 1,  and state and federal Special Education Services offered to children with disabilities or special education needs in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act  (ADA).
