Welcome To Salida Early Childhood Center

March 2024

Dear Families,

Wow, it is March already, and with it comes the hope of spring which only makes play time more fun at ECC! A reminder that our teachers will be conducting spring home visits on March 6th and 7th. Home visits are required for our Head Start funding and are an important part of our program. They are an opportunity to build a stronger connection with your child and your family. Research indicates that the stronger relationships teachers have with families the better the outcomes are for children. Thank you in advance for welcoming our teachers into your homes and engaging in these important conversations!  Our teachers are working to build more I Love You Rituals into their classroom practices. I Love You Rituals are another tool from our social and emotional curriculum, Conscious Discipline, and are intended to build loving connections between young children and the adults who care for them.  If you are interested in learning more, please connect with your child’s teacher or our family services team. 

For those families whose children are kindergarten bound (5 prior to August 1st), know that we are working closely with Longfellow Elementary to plan activities for families to support this transition.  Please watch for additional information. 

Lastly, we are working on staffing for next school year.  If you or someone you know might be interested in joining the ECC team, please connect with me.  As always, reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or creative ideas to better support young families in our community!
