Early LCC - Early Learning Children's Community

It is through a sense of community among Early LCC staff, children and families that we are able to create the most positive early learning experience for young children.

Learning in a positive early education and care setting occurs for your young child at Lansing Community College's Early Learning Children's Community (Early LCC). Professional early childhood teachers and LCC students offer an enriched and stimulating environment. Combining the missions of Early LCC, Educational Child Care Center (EC3), and Head Start (LCC's partners in serving families) results in:

Providing developmentally-appropriate early education and care in a nurturing environment that promotes growth of the whole child while responding to the needs of the family.

Providing learning opportunities for LCC students integrating classroom academics with real-world experiences to the child and family development.

Providing a culturally sensitive, healthy learning environment in which children, families and staff are inspired to reach their fullest potential.
 
The State Board of Education provides funding to support the Michigan School Readiness Program. Head Start is funded by the United Stated Department of Health and Human Services.
