by the Indiana Bureau of Child Development. ECDC operates two programs, one on the <br />campus of Saint Mary's College and the other on the campus of the University of Notre <br />Dame. Both sites are governed by one Board of Directors and operate with the same <br />educational philosophy, curriculum, parent involvement, college student involvement <br />and enrichment opportunities. ECDC is partially funded by Saint Mary's College and the <br />University of Notre Dame to serve their communities. <br />ECDC serves as an early childhood leader, administering grants and facilitating <br />activities in our community which support early childhood quality and training initiatives. <br />The ECDC program seeks to enhance the growth and development of the whole child <br />through a developmentally appropriate curriculum. The curriculum equally fosters <br />cognitive, social, emotional, physical and creative growth through experience- based, <br />hands -on learning activities and play. A central goal is the promotion of each child's self <br />confidence and love of learning. Learning experiences with peers and teachers <br />encourage the development of the 4R's: respect, responsibility, resourcefulness and <br />responsiveness. The ECDC program believes that the 4R's are the foundation blocks <br />for democratic living. ECDC provides a positive and nurturing environment within which <br />young children thrive. ECDC views itself as an extension of each child's family. As <br />such, ECDC works to develop a genuine partnership with parents. ECDC teachers and <br />staff recognize and celebrate the diversity of its children and families. ECDC is <br />committed to establishing an anti -bias curriculum that supports our multicultural <br />community. ECDC welcomes students of any race, color, religion, genderand national <br />or ethnic origin. <br />16.
