Weekly News & Updates

Whether you are new to the EEC, returning from the spring, or have spent the summer with us, we are so excited to begin the 2026–2027 school year with you!

Our DAP students started this past week, our half-day preschool students will begin on Tuesday, September 8th, and our childcare students have been transitioning into their classrooms and adjusting to their new routines. We are excited to have everyone back and look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and fun!

Please consider joining the PTA! The PTA supports our students, families, and staff throughout the school year. They provide engaging programs and assemblies for our young students and sponsor fun family events throughout the year. Your involvement helps make these experiences possible and strengthens our EEC community.

We are looking forward to a great school year together!

Thank you,

Susan Morrison
Early Education Coordinator

Family Needs Surveys were recently sent home with all families. At the EEC, we are committed to providing the highest quality care and education to the families we serve. As part of our participation in the Step Up to Quality program, we are required to complete a Family Needs Survey to help us better understand your needs and improve the support we offer.

Please note that the completion of this survey is mandatory. Your responses are critical for us to meet the standards of the Step Up to Quality program and continue offering excellent services to our families. We kindly ask that you take a few minutes to complete this survey.

Rest assured, all answers provided will remain completely confidential. Your responses will only be used for the purpose of improving our services and ensuring that we are meeting the needs of families in our care.

Please contact the EEC office if you have any questions.

Please be sure to accompany your child to their classroom and make contact with a staff member when you arrive and when you pick up your child.

For your child’s safety, please do not send your child upstairs alone to their locker or classroom.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all of our students.

Harvest Mum Buddies are coming to The Parkview Early Education Center! The Harvest Mum Buddies program consists of two types of products. A premium greenhouse quality mum, and a fall themed tin character pot (Mum Buddy). People are buying mums and fall decorations anyway, so these products will be easy to sell! Write down your own personal order, and then please take orders from friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

The funds that we raise through this and all of our fundraisers come directly back to your student in the form of frequent enrichment activities, periodic student celebrations, and teacher appreciation and support. Last year we had the Nature Center, the Beck Center, Music Izz Groovy, and many other programs for our students to enjoy. With your support this year will be just as packed with activities!

If you have younger children you hope will attend the EEC in the future, we strongly encourage you to join our waiting list now. Our program fills quickly, and the waitlist is often quite long. Each spring, we hear from families hoping to enroll a younger sibling, only to find that spaces are already full. To ensure your child has the best chance of securing a spot, we recommend adding them to the waiting list as early as possible.

To add a younger family member to the waiting list, please click here.
