EC3 Staff
EC3 is staffed by early childhood professionals who are committed to creating a positive environment for young children.
Twenty-two full-time teachers staff the ten EC3 classrooms. We are the only center in Lansing that keeps two lead teachers (co-teachers) in each room, rather than one teacher and assistants. That means our staff is more highly trained than that found elsewhere. All of our teachers are trained in child development or early childhood education.
EC3 also boasts support staff who are trained in child development and are filled with a love of children. The support staff are very familiar faces to every EC3 child, and smoothly transition into the classrooms when primary caregivers are away from the classroom.
Prior to employment all staff members (teachers and office staff) must submit to reference checks, pass a criminal background check, and receive clearance from Michigan’s database of those who are even suspected of child abuse or neglect.
We have been extremely pleased since moving our child to EC3. The teachers in the Gecko room are very kind and show a true concern for our child. I also appreciate the transition time when a child moves from room to room. Overall, I think the center is great.
