ECC

Dear Families,

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new preschool families and students and a warm welcome back to our returning students here at Early Childhood Center in Woodland Park, NJ!

My name is Elis Francisco and I am humbled and honored to serve as the Supervisor of Early Childhood Education in Woodland Park, NJ.  I have been working in the field of Early Childhood since 2005 serving in many different capacities:  Preschool Assistant, Preschool Age Three and Four Teacher, an Instructional Preschool Coach, and Preschool Intervention and Referral Specialist.  I also have a background teaching in Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, and Fifth Grade.  I earned my Bachelors of Elementary Education and Psychology with a minor in Early Childhood from Rider University in 2009 where I received my Standards in Elementary and Early Childhood Teaching.  After teaching for over a decade,  I obtained my Masters in Educational Administration at Rowan University in 2023 and earned my Supervisor and Principal certifications.

We have been designated as a high-quality Preschool Program here in Woodland Park.  We honor and maintain that students develop at their own pace and we take priority in meeting individual student needs.  This is accomplished through the utilization of Creative Curriculum and the Pyramid Model for Social Emotional competencies.  Rest assured, that our staff here at ECC is highly trained in best practices and early childhood education and implement the most up-to-date research and teaching practices for our Preschool students.

Please be reminded that the parent’s role in the education of the children is essential.  Be sure to check our website for the most up-to-date news and announcements.  Also be certain to check your email regularly. Take some time to navigate through the school and district sites where you will find information regarding policies, general procedures, and connections to various resources.

Yours in Education,

Elis Francisco
