"MECEC's teachers care deeply about young children and their development--as learners and human beings. They build strong relationships, nurturing each child's uniqueness while helping them become generous members of a community. It was affirming to see how much my daughter loved her teachers and friends, how she enjoyed all they did together, and how much she grew and learned. As a parent, I knew my daughter was under the care of capable, loving professionals when she was at MECEC. You can't ask for much more than that." -O.H.

 

"MECEC is an exceptional preschool and we are lucky to have it in our community. The teachers and staff have a wealth of experience and work closely with families to make sure that the needs of each child is met. The play-based program is designed to allow children to be children, which is how they learn best.  I watched my daughter blossom under the care of her teachers in an environment that was enriching, kind and supportive. We cannot wait for year two to begin." -E.A.

 

"I can’t speak more highly of our daughter’s first year at MECEC. She has developed leaps and bounds and we have seen incredible gains in her language, fine motor skills, like painting and drawing, and her social skills. Most importantly, she loves going to school and she loves her teachers!" -M.H.

 

"Best pre-K program ever! The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated and loving. Anne Garcia is a terrific executive director. Our twins were always excited to go to school in the morning. They learned a lot and made great friends. I could not recommend MECEC enough." -A.H.

 

"MECEC is a wonderful asset to the greater Millbrook community for parents with toddlers. We've had children enrolled nearly every year for the past 8 years and feel the education is top-notch. The curriculum not only prepares toddlers for kindergarten but also centers around empathy and friendships, creating a solid foundation for interpersonal skills. And, I cannot stress how absolutely wonderful the faculty are, and how fun they make preschool, especially the neat art show tradition at the end of the year. MECEC is the best!" -S.C.

"My son's two years at MECEC were a true blessing. In the most nurturing environment, supported by caring and experienced educators, he grew emotionally, developmentally, and socially beyond my expectations. Most importantly, my child loved going to school! MECEC fostered an early love of school and learning he is taking with him as he sets off for Kindergarten." -A.G.

 

"I am so grateful for the MECEC community - Anne fosters an environment of caring and growth - from the teachers that are part of the school to the programming designed for learning that ignites the brain in early childhood. This was a safe and positive environment for our children, especially while navigating the constantly changing guidelines of the pandemic." -L.A.
