Founded in 2007, Millbrook Early Childhood Education Center (MECEC), a small private not-for-profit preschool, is committed to providing children ages 2.9-5 a strong foundation for developing a love of learning. Offering half-day and full-day programs, children graduate from MECEC as confident learners with strong and affirming friendships, and emotional and cognitive tools that will serve them well in their learning years to come. 

​

Millbrook Early Childhood Education Center (MECEC) was founded to provide local families with access to a high-quality preschool program regardless of means. Founding donors were motivated by 50 years of research that demonstrated a high correlation between a quality preschool education and better outcomes across every major social, health, and economic dimension as tracked over five decades in the lives of their subjects.

​

MECEC, our largest local early education institution, directly strengthens the vitality of our small towns. It supports our current young families while also welcoming new families who together will enrich our diverse community and support our local economy.
