Excel Learning Centers (ELCs): Building the Next Generation
Early learning experts tout that our children’s first few years of education provide the building blocks—social skills, cognitive achievement, study tools and more—for future success. At ELCs, we want these skills to last a lifetime, so we’ve fashioned a learning atmosphere that helps children grow, know, care, and share.
Staff
We hand-pick our staff from amongst the most qualified individuals in Eastern North Carolina. And while training, skills, and qualifications are vital, we believe it’s just as important that each team member is committed to the development of your child. Enthusiasm, creativity, gentleness, and a genuine love for children are prerequisites to becoming part of the Excel team.
Health & Safety
Initial employment and continuing education requirements include health, safety, nutrition, trauma and other pertinent topics, and lead teachers and administrators are certified in CPR and First Aid. Rooms and toys are cleaned thoroughly throughout each day, with deep disinfecting happening several times weekly, following Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
Training
All caregivers must complete 24 in-service hours of professional development every calendar year in topics relevant to their positions (child development and learning; family/community collaboration; program management; and more).
