PORTRAIT OF FARMINGTON EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
Farmington Early Childhood Center has a philosophy based on the interaction of the child and their unique
experiences, guided and supported by staff, to ensure the fulfillment of each child’s individual potential. We, as a
staff, are committed to recognizing and adapting to each child's individual differences and learning styles. This is
accomplished through a productive play-based curriculum which is developmentally appropriate. This curriculum
is implemented through hands-on activities, which are child-centered and facilitated by the teacher. The success
of the program is enhanced by the partnership of family, community, and school staff. By providing a safe and
healthy environment, a child will be able to accept challenges and take risks in preparation for becoming a
thoughtful problem solver. FECC is more than a school, it’s a community where over 400 children learn to thrive.
Come be a part of a team where you can truly impact young lives.
