Many of our teachers have worked together for years – even decades – and their close bonds reinforce our commitment to modeling community engagement and collaboration for our children.

Teachers

The Clayton Early Childhood Center faculty boasts an average of more than 15 years experience in the field of early childhood education. All of our teachers have completed college level coursework, and the majority hold associates, bachelors, or masters degrees. 

All teachers at CECC attend at least 12 hours of continuing education seminars and classes per year, supported by the school, and all are certified in CPR and First Aid.

Board of Directors

The Clayton Early Childhood Center Board of Directors oversees the implementation of the mission, long-term vision, and strategy for the school.

The Board may consist of as many as 11 members, up to seven of whom may be parents of children enrolled at CECC. Board members are limited to two, three-year terms, and are never paid for their service.

At all times, we seek to maintain a Board comprised of members with a range of expertise and experience, and a dedication to the mission of the school. All parents of children at CECC are eligible for nomination to the Board.

Parents' Organization

The Clayton Early Childhood Center Parents’ Organization(CPO) is integral to the mission of our school. 

The organization serves as a support of teachers and parents to provide the best possible care and education for our children and ensure the continued growth of our school community.

The CPO organizes teacher appreciation events – one of its most vital roles. It also offers parenting seminars and community celebrations for school families.

As a CECC parent, you are automatically a member of the Parents’ Organization. That means we welcome your ideas and suggestions, and encourage you to take part in the life of our school. 

That said, we know parents are some of the busiest people around. We welcome you to participate at a level that best fits your needs.
