Every Child Bay Preschool

Every Child Bay Preschool (ECB) is an inclusive learning environment dedicated to nurturing children aged 2-6 years, particularly those with diverse needs, including autistic children. Grounded in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, ECB emphasizes the importance of play in fostering intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. The school adopts a collaborative approach, viewing education as a partnership among children, families, teachers, and the wider community. Teachers act as co-learners alongside students, creating meaningful experiences that spark curiosity and creativity. ECB is committed to inclusion, recognizing that integrating students with disabilities within mainstream classrooms benefits all children. With a focus on continuous self-improvement and community involvement, ECB enrolls 3-5 autistic students each year, providing tailored support to enhance their preschool experience. As a demonstration school, ECB not only implements developmentally appropriate curricula and evidence-based strategies but also serves as a resource for professional development within the community, showcasing effective inclusion practices that highlight the potential of every child.
