About Us

We exist to prepare the youngest community members for kindergarten and beyond by laying a strong foundation in social-emotional development and academic stills.  

We empower every child to launch into their future with a profound sense of belonging, academic readiness, and the confidence to embrace their unique talents. We strive to cultivate an inclusive environment where all children thrive, becoming engaged and vital members of their communities.

Our Philosophy

Our success is driven by our philosophy. At Cornwell Early Learning Center, we believe:

Ready for Kindergarten!

We believe that each child should enter kindergarten ready to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically, so we work to assess each stage of development on a biannual basis and tailor instruction to each child’s individual strengths and needs.

We use fun, research-based, multisensory strategies to help children develop early learning skills, including Creative Curriculum®, songs and stories in children’s home languages.

Our Family Approach

We believe that families are active and crucial partners in their child’s developmental success, so we actively seek to find meaningful ways to support, connect with and resource families.
  

Teachers meet with parents twice a year to track growth and progress, share child assessments, and set goals together. Through our parent organization, Urban Ventures, we offer fun and educational opportunities for the whole family!


Health & Safety

We believe that each child in our community deserves a safe, nurturing, sensory rich and organized environment to thrive, so we adhere to the highest standard in licensing requirements.  

At CELC, our teachers and staff are trained in pediatric first aid and CPR. They also undergo a full background study by DHS.  We have an open door policy for parents where you are invited to visit at any time. Our classrooms are carefully designed for the developmental levels of the children in those spaces.
