Our philosophy is to surround children with beauty, order, trust, and respect in an environment that says "Yes, this is for you. Touch, smell, hold, look closely, listen....let's test out your ideas," and watch them grow. Walk through our Village at www.village-ecc.com and schedule a tour. We are now enrolling for Fall 2017 with 4 spots available.

Martina's depth of knowledge and expertise are gifts to be surrounded by and make playwell a unique, beautiful experience for both children and adults alike.

This preschool center is one of the best I've had my child in . When I first walked in there to…read moretake a tour the staff was so welcoming the place was so warm-felt I could honestly say I felt like I was at home. Every time I go to the center the owner is there that makes me feel so good about leaving my child there when the owner is there that shows me that she is serious about her work and she loves what she does and she's proud. They are also so willing to work with parents on their days . I had a family emergency and needed the center to take my child during certain days because as a nurse my days are already scheduled out six weeks in advance and I had no one else to watch my son because I am a single mother they had no problem helping me and my son has just started those are the kind of people you want watching your child the ones who actually care about children they could have said no and sent me on my way but they didn't. The center is clean they are proficient they are kind they help with potty training they have a hair dresser come in once a month to help cut kids hair because hair cuts aren't always the easiest things for two year olds. My son is socializing with other children . They have a full kitchen and a cook who makes the children's food fresh i mean really what more can a parent ask for . I love this center and would recommend it to any family I live about 20 minutes away and I wouldn't change going to this care center for any center that was closer to me. After reading the review below me I was appalled because those are not the ladies that are at the center the ladies I deal with are professional they are kind I hope that this review helps other parents when looking for a center for this child .

Our experience at Precious Memories Preschool of Sandy Hollow was very short lived. Less than 15…read moreminutes if were being honest. We brought our two-year-old son into their facility for his first day. He was very excited to start his first day and ran right to the classroom we were told he was to be assigned to from our previous visit. The owner of the facility told us that we are not welcome back due to him not being compliant. He did not listen to her when we first got to the center (shocker he is a two-year-old that was there for less than 15 minutes and overly excited) and when he fell out of his chair he cried and ran for us because he was scared (crazy how he ran to his parents to console him...). Those two reasons were enough for the owner to justify that we are not welcome back and our two-year-old is just not going to be a good fit. I'm not sure as to what they expect out of a two-year-old, when this is normal and age-appropriate behavior. But apparently our two-year-old was a safety issue as well. Regarding how they allow their doors to the classroom be unlocked for the children to open them without a gate which in my opinion, is a safety issue for the children. However, I warn any parents who are looking at this center to be wary. Even the staff apologized on account of the owner and were unsure as to what happened. Very unhappy and ashamed that I even thought this establishment would be kind to my child.

At first he was incredibly shy and wouldn't play with any of the other kids. He has two teenage brothers and seems to bond better with the older kids. Towards the end of the year he was playing with everyone and even missed them on the days he didn't go to school. His teachers are so amazing. They are passionate about teaching the kids. Sometimes it's the little things that matter. Like one day he came to school with a haircut. And he was so embarrassed, he was crying. Instead of commenting on the haircut, they complimented his shirt. That seemed to make him feel better. I like that the yard/playground area is completely closed off with only two exits; through the church and through the preschool. It's so reassuring to know that our children will never be hit by a car or snatched by a stranger. The tuition isn't costly either. My son went twice a week and we paid $150 a month. Each additional hour would only be $5. I definitely recommend this preschool to everyone that has little ones!
