Vision Projects

Colorful hands encircle a globe, highlighting the Early Childhood Academy's mission of learning, love, and leadership for a better world. Venn diagram with three circles labeled "Love," "Learn," and "Lead," centered around the Early Childhood Academy logo.

Everything at ECA is anchored in our vision in that  every person, both childrend and adults,  will create and foster learning, loving and leading. Every activity, club and event is also created with the vision in mind.  Below you can see the various projects we have started.  What are Caterpillars are learning is that even though they initally start as a specific learn, love or lead project, they are actually all connected.

Love Projects
At ECA our community service projects are called Love Projects to align with our vision. Our Love Projects will help our Caterpillars learn kindness and empathy and gain real world experiences through serving others. 

Love Project 1
Each one of our ECA Caterpillars created a special Valentine for the residents at a local nurshing home.  Some of our Caterpillars and their family members hand delivered the Valentines on behalf of ECA.
