EARLY EDUCATION CENTER

EARLY EDUCATION CENTER is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the FERGUSON-FLORISSANT R-II school district, located in FLORISSANT, MO with about 423 students. With about 22 teachers, EARLY EDUCATION CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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 EARLY EDUCATION CENTER located at 1005 Waterford Dr. in Florissant, Missouri, operates under the **Hazelwood School District**. This facility is dedicated to providing specialized early childhood programming designed to foster foundational learning for young children before they transition into elementary school. The center focuses on creating a supportive, age-appropriate environment that encourages social-emotional development, early literacy, and essential cognitive skills.

As part of the Hazelwood district’s commitment to early childhood education, the center typically serves students with a variety of needs, including those eligible for state-funded preschool or early intervention programs. By prioritizing play-based learning and structured classroom interaction, the school aims to prepare its youngest learners for academic success, ensuring they have the necessary tools and confidence to excel as they progress into the broader K-12 school system.
