Dear ECC Families and Community,

The Warren Early Childhood Center is grateful to have the opportunity to remain OPEN and continue to provide preschool and child care services as K-12 schools prepare to transition to virtual instruction. ECC will continue to follow the COVID-19 procedures that have been in place since our reopening in August. We need your help by making sure everyone, including adults getting out of vehicles, is wearing a mask during arrival and dismissal while children are handed off between designated adults and staff. Together, we can all do our personal best to keep our school community safe and healthy. You have received a lot of information over the course of the past 24 hours. Please feel free to call our office if you have questions, 317-869-4750. Enjoy your weekend!

Sincerely,

Annemarie Fessler

Director

Warren Township has announced eLearning days on Monday, November 23 and Tuesday, November 24. ECC will remain open for in-person learning and child care on these two days. ECC will be closed November 25 through November 27 for Thanksgiving Break.

As the weather becomes colder and children come to school wearing jackets, coats, hats and mittens, it is important for belongings to be labeled. Please be sure to write your child's name on the tags of their belongings. When items get misplaced and aren't identified with names, it makes it difficult to locate and return them. Help us help you!

It is requested that each child come to school with a full change of clothing, including underwear and socks, in their backpack. Is your child's change of clothing appropriate for the changing seasons? Please make sure you have replaced summer clothes with warmer clothing. We appreciate your assistance.

We're thankful for our wonderfully dedicated staff at ECC. Are you? Take the time at home to write a note to a staff member or have your child draw a picture and put it in their backpack. We'll be sure to get your note/picture into the right hands. It will make someone's day!

November 9-22- ECC Book Fair

November 20- Picture Retakes

November 24- Spirit Day; Wear a Hat!

November 25-27- Thanksgiving Break; No School/Child Care Closed

December 18- Spirit Day; Wear Pajamas!

December 21- January 1- Winter Break; No School/Child Care Closed

When dropping off a child using the main entrance, please be sure your vehicle and belongings are safe. It is best to turn your vehicle off, bring other children to the entrance with you and lock your vehicle with belongings out of sight. ECC has experienced vehicle theft (when left running/keys are inside) and theft of belongings (visible from the windows) while parents/caregivers are dropping off & picking up. As the days get shorter and it is dark during these times, the risk increases. Be safe!

If you know someone searching for a quality preschool program, send them to the Warren Early Childhood Center! We have spaces currently available for half day and full day classes. We also accept On My Way and CCDF vouchers. Registration appointments can be made by calling Mary Crabtree in the ECC office, 317-869-4750.
