Dedicated to Early Childhood Education
Opened in 2009, the Center for Early Education is comprised of Preschool and Kindergarten classes only. Supported by our "home" schools: Asbury, Cory, Slavens, Steel, University Park, Lincoln, and the DPS Gifted and Talented Department. The CEE offers students a hands-on, energetic, enriching, and developmentally appropriate program in a safe learning environment. We have a very strong staff that is supported by a rich curriculum. We have strong parent and community involvement as well as consistent connections with our home schools that support and strengthen our program.

We are a community of learners, each of us a learner. As educators, we learn from one another, utilizing the strengths of our colleagues to increase our own capacity as professionals. Parents are valuable members of our community. We share knowledge and experience with our parent community, while we learn from parents about the important individual needs of our students. When adults are engaged and excited about learning we create a love for learning and a high level of energy that is sustained throughout the school year.Here we believe learning, love and laughter are our greatest sources of energy.

2011-2012 Classes
The center houses 3 and 4 year old preschool classes as well as Kindergarten classes, and a special education class, to support our home schools. Please visit our '11-'12 page for a complete list of our offerings.
