ECDP's mission is to develop the social, emotional, physical and intellectual well being of each child. Accepting each child at his or her own developmental level enhances the individual child's self-concept and feeling of self-worth. Our program will create a safe and nurturing environment, which offers opportunities for exploration and discovery.

The emphasis is on developing curiosity, imagination, independence, self-esteem, caring for others, and the ability to play both cooperatively and independently. ECDP provides opportunities for growing and learning in a Jewish context with emphasis on cultural activities and hands-on holiday experiences.
