About Us

Our Mission

The mission of Chapel Hill Early Childhood Education is to serve the children and families within our community by providing a high-quality educational experience designed to prepare children for success into kindergarten and throughout life.

Our Philosophy

At Chapel Hill Early Childhood Education, we partner with parents and families to develop kind, compassionate, competent, enthusiastic learners with character, who have the ability and the willingness to adapt to a changing world.

We believe …

• That learning best occurs in a comprehensive program, which  includes an integrated curriculum and strong parent/community involvement.

• Each child is a unique individual with physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. Recognizing that our children enter school with many different backgrounds, we provide individually rewarding and stimulating experiences in a diverse, bias-free environment.

We believe a child learns best in a warm, secure environment that provides  opportunities for:

• Interaction with materials which encourage creativity, exploration, questioning and independent discovery. This interaction includes a variety of active, concrete, “hands on” learning experiences matched to individual abilities and learning styles.

•  Interaction with ideas through open-ended and higher-order questions,  problem solving, and discussions. This interaction emphasizes the process the child goes through to accomplish a task.

• Interaction with each other and all adults through quality and uninterrupted play situations. This interaction promotes cooperation, self-responsibility and respect for self and others.
