Early Childhood Center

The accredited and state licensed Jefferson College Early Childhood Center provides a comprehensive, high quality child development program for preschool and school age children, ages 2 through 12. The program is open to children of students, faculty, staff and the community.

The Center also serves as a laboratory setting for Area Technical School and College Students enrolled in early childhood education coursework, or other curricula related to the care and education of young children. It is the program’s intent to instruct and model theoretical knowledge of learning and human behavior, attitudes that foster learning, knowledge of developmentally appropriate practice, and a repertoire of teaching strategies that help children develop to their maximum potential.

Exciting, challenging, meaningful and fun activities are planned for children each and every day that help to build a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.
