| We opened this building in Riverdale Farms in January, 1986. We now occupy three buildings in the plaza and our original building is dedicated to our infant and toddler programs. |
|
 |
| Outside of our main building is an elaborate play area constructed specifically for toddlers. Its carpeted decking provide a more sanitary environment as well as a level and safe surface that is needed by beginning walkers. Numerous built-in activity centers provide varied opportunities for development of gross motor skills. |
|
 |
| One of the many activity centers on the toddler playground. |
|
 |
| Inside of our original building are our infant and toddler rooms. Pictured here is our infant room designed to provide a warm, stimulating and nurturing environment in which children can explore their expanding world and develop skills in safe, supportive surroundings. Our lead teacher (Louise Petit) has been taking care of infants for over 40 years, and has been with EPC for the past 15! |

 |
| Pictured here is one of our toddler rooms. All of the rooms are equipped with areas for active and independent play as well as personal space. Each room has numerous activity centers designed to provide varied hands-on opportunities for the development of toddlers emerging physical and cognitive skills. |

We occupy the entire first floor of this building and it is used exclusively for our
preschool program. |

| Pictured is one of our preschool classrooms. Each room equipped with well planned learning centers that allow for child choice and self directed play, small groups and teaching methods that maximize the way children utilize and interact with each other and the individual centers. |

 |
| Circle time allows for development of a sense of belonging to a group. Social skills are enhanced when children learn to share ideas and listen to ideas of others. |

We use this 7,000 square foot building for our school age, kindergarten enrichment,
full-day kindergarten, and camp programs. The first floor has a large open activity area,
a computer and library room, kitchen area, and a homework room. Additional activity centers include sewing, woodworking, science & nature, and instructional athletics. Upstairs is a large cathedral ceilinged room used as our art studio as well as a classroom dedicated to our kindergarteners. |
|
 |
| Our outdoor play space is enormous and equipped with numerous play areas and activity centers. In addition we enjoy exclusive use of an adjoining athletic field as well as access to the nearby ponds and nature trails. |

| Easily the most popular piece on the playground. |
