Our school is for preschool students with disabilities from ages 3 to 5 years old and General Education Students who live within the boundaries of the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District. Students who graduate from ECEC typically move on to Kindergarten or TK classes at one of the district's elementary schools. We take pride in meeting the needs of students with unique challenges of all types. Our classes include two levels of specialized academic instruction, inclusion classes, as well as groups that work on speech-language and articulation. Morning and afternoon classes are available, space permitting. Our school is housed within two buildings on the Student Services Department campus, located at the eastern end of Avenue H in Yucaipa. Please call if you have questions about our no-cost Special Education program or our General Education enrollment/Tuition. We would be happy to work with you to see if our school is a fit for your child. -- Leslie Burghardt, Executive Director
