The Early Childhood Learning Center of Greene County (ECLC) is a private, non-profit program chartered by the NYS Board of Regents to provide the following programs to children from birth to five years old (up to school age):

  • ECLC operates all Head Start programs in Greene County.  Head Start is a federally funded program for income eligible three and four year olds.
  • Special education and therapy services through the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) to three (3) and four (4) year old children such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and center-based classes in an inclusive setting for children with developmental delays (5 hours per day).  These services are available to those children who qualify based on a delay in development as determined by the CPSE committee and may be provded in the home, school, or center-based classroom program in Head Start depending on the child's needs.



 

HISTORY

Early Childhood Learning Center was founded in 1978 by parents of preschool children who needed specialized therapy to help their children overcome some developmental delays.  At the time, programs were only available in Albany or Kingston.  The parents, who did not want their children to travel such a distance to receive therapy, started their own program in Greene County.


The agency first began under the auspices of the Early Childhood Learning Center in Albany.  In a year's time, it was mutually decided that ECLC would be an independent program chartered by the NYS Board of Regents.  In 1982 an absolute charter was granted.  In 1999 the agency became the grantee for the Head Start Program in Greene County.  Since then the agency has grown considerably.  Today ECLC serves more than 150 children.  Currently, ECLC meets the needs of Head Start children and children with developmental delays from birth to five years of age.

Reopening Information

  

Dear ECLC Community,

We have been busy preparing for our “new normal 2020-2021 school year”. Our number one focus throughout this process has been on the health and safety of our children, families and staff.

We will be following the guidance set forth from NY Special Education Dept, NY Dept of Health, Office of Children & Family Services, and Office of Head Start. These guidance documents outline safety measures that must be followed in order to assure all our children, families and staff are safe.

The following plan describes the 3-phase opening and the safety protocols that will be in place. 

Phase 1- Virtual Classroom – (September 14th to October 31st) Students will attend class virtually. There would be regular substantive interaction between teachers and students which would be delivered remotely.

Phase 2– Hybrid Model - (November 1st to December 31) All sites will be fully open for part day onsite instruction. Class size will be limited to 10 children per class. Each class of 10 children would be separated into 2 cohorts of 5 children. Hours of operation for children would be 8:30 am to 11:30 am.

Phase 3– Resumption of full day program – (January 2021) Programs will be ready to resume full operation. Hours of program for children will be 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. 

We look forward to welcoming you to our school year.
