WAVERLY EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

WAVERLY EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the EASTCHESTER UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in EASTCHESTER, NY with about 447 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 1st Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 34 teachers, WAVERLY EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The WAVERLY EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER, located at 45 Hall Avenue in Eastchester, NY, serves as the foundational educational hub for the Eastchester Union Free School District. Dedicated to the unique developmental needs of the district’s youngest learners, the center focuses on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters early academic, social, and emotional growth. By prioritizing play-based learning and developmentally appropriate practices, the school aims to create a positive first experience with education that prepares children for the transition to elementary school.

As an integral part of the Eastchester school community, the center emphasizes a strong partnership between educators, students, and families. The curriculum is designed to cultivate curiosity and essential cognitive skills, ensuring that students build a solid base for their future academic careers.
