EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the NORMANDY SCHOOLS COLLABORATIVE school district, located in ST LOUIS, MO with about 101 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 11 teachers, EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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 CHILDHOOD CENTER, located at 3417 St. Thomas Moore in St. Louis, Missouri, operates under the Normandy Schools Collaborative. This facility serves as the foundational hub for the district’s youngest learners, focusing on developmentally appropriate practices designed to prepare children for their transition into elementary school. By emphasizing early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development, the center aims to establish a strong academic trajectory for students during their most formative years.

As part of the Normandy Schools Collaborative, the EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER is committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment that caters to the diverse needs of the local community. The center works to engage both students and their families through structured programs that foster curiosity, collaborative play, and foundational skills.
