Early Childhood Program Supervisor:<br />
Amanda Giacomino<br />
Early Learning Center has provided<br />
a strong foundation for Glencoe’s<br />
preschoolers for more than 35 years.<br />
Our goal for children is not just schoolreadiness,<br />
but life-readiness: the ability to<br />
problem-solve, work with others, feel good<br />
about oneself and one’s abilities to meet<br />
new challenges with interest and curiosity.<br />
We promote active play, take time for<br />
the creative arts, taste foods from other<br />
cultures, try words in unfamiliar languages,<br />
and set the stage for life in the world<br />
community.<br />
