The Birmingham Public Schools Early Childhood Center is committed to providing excellence in early childhood education. We have a highly qualified and trained staff who continually provide a healthy, safe and nurturing, play-based learning environment. Research continues to show the benefits of high-quality preschool programs. We offer full-day, toddler and preschool programs for children 18 months to 5 years of age during the school year, as well as in the summer. Our curriculum, teaching practices and environment reflect research-based knowledge about how children grow, develop and learn. The ECC follows the HighScope curriculum, which aligns with the Early Childhood Standards of Quality for the State of Michigan. It is designed to promote all areas of development including physical development, cognitive development, language/literacy/communication, interpersonal skills and relationships, creative arts, dramatic play and construction.
