Ada Early Childhood Center

Ada Early Childhood Center offers a full day Pre-K and Kindergarten program based on the Oklahoma Academic Standards for reading, math, science, social studies, and visual arts. Students also participate in physical education, music and library science programs.

Instruction is whole group and center based and offers developmentally appropriate activities for early childhood learners. Students also participate in STEM activities in the STEM iLab.  

This offers students the opportunity to explore careers and participate in critical thinking activities which support STEM instruction.  Intervention services are provided  for students who need instructional support.  AECC also offers a program for developmentally delayed children age 3-5 years.

AECC is very proud to be recognized as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School.  Students learn about the 7 Habits of a Happy Kid.  These basic life principles teach students the importance of being in charge of oneself, making and implementing plans, putting work before play time, thinking win-win, learning to listen, working together and taking care of themselves.  The teachers use innovative and engaging activities for students to practice and learn these very important life skills. 

Preparing all students to become engaged, high performing citizens with the skills necessary to succeed in a global society  is the mission of Ada City Schools.  AECC provides a rigorous and robust curriculum, but also realizes the importance of the family and school connection.    AECC  provides  many parental engagement opportunities for parents throughout the year.  

Ada Early Childhood Centers vision is to Strive to be THE school where students feel successful, experience the joy of learning, and know they are safe, cared for and valued.  The faculty and staff at AECC work diligently each day to make that vision a reality.
