E.P.I.C. Preschool Program

Early Childhood Partners In Collaboration


Our Mission

To offer children, from birth to the kindergarten door, and their families a system of high quality, well-coordinated, easily accessible services that promote the education and care of young children, in conjunction with the Parent Infant Education (PIE) program.

That's an E.P.I.C. mission!



Our Vision

To provide an environment where children feel loved, respected, and encouraged to develop to their fullest potential.

Our program is designed to promote positive growth in the lives of all children. We will adopt approaches that enable each child to develop their social/emotional, physical, and cognitive abilities. We understand that each child is unique and special and positive early childhood experiences are instrumental for a child's overall development in later life. The E.P.I.C. Pre-K Program will promote and maintain a safe environment that creates opportunities for children to develop and grow in a positive manner through appropriate role modeling while nurturing each student's own natural desire to be life-long learners.
