Maryland publishes an infant band and a school-age band and no others, so these are not a total capacity and say nothing about toddler or preschool places.

Starting preschool was a huge transition for our quiet and cautious 3-year-old. I'm not sure we could've picked a more nurturing and amazing environment for him to thrive in than ECC. The small class sizes drew us in, the awesome and caring staff moved us with how much they contributed to our son's development. He really blossomed socially, loved going to class, and was well prepared for kindergarten thanks to their play-based learning and emphasis on the whole child. The amount of care his teachers demonstrated towards him is really something we'll treasure forever, and the school director and support staff were also very friendly as well as communicative & organized. The grounds (on but not affiliated with the Rockville Unitarian church) were really nice. The classrooms themselves are quite small, but no problem for the small groups, filled with natural light, and well laid out for imaginative play and age-appropriate learning. They do a nice amount of school-community events for being so small; my son recently enjoyed a picnic even as an alumni recently :) Thank you ECC!
Amaly GilligJan 31, 2024With two alumni and one current student, we’re big ECC fans! When we set out to identify a high-quality preschool for our children, we prioritized the educational environment offered. ECC provides a welcoming community where the children are deeply cared for, play to learn, and ultimately graduate ready for their next chapter. - Maury and Michael Cronin
Maury DonahueJan 13, 2023Both my kids attended ECC and loved it. The teachers were warm and the curriculum was engaging. We loved being part of the small community at ECC, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and interactive, play-based preschool education.
Monica SilvestroJan 5, 2023Very happy with our experience at this school! The teachers and staff are wonderful, responsive, and genuinely care for their students. They offer lots of creative ideas for play and activities, including yoga and music/dance. I have two alums and they were very well-prepared for kindergarten. They loved attending and had such a great first experience with school.
Amy K. CastnerDec 30, 2022Our child has attended ECC since 2021 and ECC has been absolutely incredible. The teachers are caring and go above and beyond in the activities they plan for the children (my 4 year old has been cooking in class lately!). I'm amazed at how much my child has learned since starting with ECC. She is already reading and can write the whole alphabet. The classes are small and the kids really form bonds with each other. We recommend ECC to everyone we know!
Sarah ChiriacoDec 29, 2022I wish I could give 6 stars for ECC. My son started at ECC when he was 2 and will soon be starting his second year there. The staff is excellent and our son loves his classmates and teachers. I saw another review mention Bailey, and I just wanted to chime in and say she's been nothing but wonderful in any kind of situation (happy or challenging). My wife and I looked at a lot of places in and around Rockville, and ECC was our top choice. And they've never once let us down. Definitely give them a shot if you're looking for a place for your little one(s).

Questions parents ask about Early Childhood Center
Is Early Childhood Center a licensed child care provider in Maryland?
- Yes. Early Childhood Center holds Maryland licence 1746225293806x469463957572748800, listed as "CONTINUING - FULL" by the Office of Child Care, Maryland State Department of Education in Montgomery County. The licence is recorded as Continuing - Full, running to June 30, 2028. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.
Does Early Childhood Center operate all year?
- Maryland records Early Childhood Center as a "School Year" programme. That is the schedule on the licence record rather than a timetable, so confirm term dates and closures with the provider.
Does this page show inspection results for Early Childhood Center?
- No. Maryland inspects licensed child care programmes and publishes the results through Check Child Care Maryland at checkccmd.org. Those reports are not included here, so nothing on this page reflects Early Childhood Center's inspection history either way. This page's record comes from Maryland Family Network's LOCATE service, which carries licence and status data rather than inspection findings.
