EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CENTER

Early Childhood Education Center is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the Wood Dale SD 7 school district, located in Wood Dale, IL with about 111 students. 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 7 teachers, Early Childhood Education Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

Beyond its core curriculum, the center plays a vital role in the Wood Dale community by offering inclusive programs that often cater to students with diverse learning requirements.
