Why ECC?
Curriculum EnrichmentGymJam: ECC’s Play and Movement class:
We’re excited to introduce GymJam, ECC’s very own movement program! Each week, students participate in high-energy GymJam classes led by our fabulous movement teacher, Miss Anna.
Through obstacle courses, games, music, and more, children stay active while developing coordination, balance, and gross motor skills—all in a fun, encouraging environment.
Our students love GymJammin’ each week, and we love seeing them move, play, and grow!
Music at ECC:
Our preschoolers enjoy a joyful and engaging music program that encourages learning through songs, fingerplays, movement, dancing, and imaginative actions. Music is a powerful tool for early development, which is why we incorporate it into our daily curriculum.
Children grow in language, rhythm, coordination, and creativity—all while having fun and expressing themselves.
We proudly showcase what they’ve learned during two special events each year:
-
Christmas Program in December
-
Music & Masterpieces celebration in May
Story Time with Pastor Jewell:
Each month, Pastor Jewell visits our classrooms to share a special story with the children. She selects short, meaningful books centered around simple Christian themes such as joy, love, kindness, and gratitude—with a new theme and story each month.
This quiet, thoughtful time is a meaningful part of our school community, and we know our students are truly blessed by her presence and the messages she shares.
In-House Field Trips:
Each month, we bring in a special guest or presentation to enrich our students’ learning through our in-house field trip program. These on-site experiences are designed to complement our curriculum while adding an extra dose of fun and excitement to the day!
Past visits have included JoHo the Storyteller, the Kansas City ZooMobile, and Reggie the Magician—and there’s always something new to look forward to!
