Situated within the Pacific University College of Education, the ELC serves Children aged three to six in one full day Kindergarten and two preschool classrooms .
Housed on the garden level of Berglund Hall, the Early Learning Community is a learning environment organized around the principles of inclusion, active experiential learning and best pedagogical practice. We believe that children learn best in a place where they feel good about themselves, where they are allowed to explore their world, and where the learning materials match their interests and needs. The learning environment in the ELC is supported by teachers who recognize developmental norms, respect individual differences, and inspire a sense of wonder and a desire to learn. It is our goal to foster collaboration between students, teachers, and families as a means of supporting all aspects of children's development.
