At SELC, we believe children learn best through meaningful relationships, exploration, intentional play, and authentic experiences. We recognize families as children ' s first and most important teachers and value the partnerships we build to support each child ' s growth, development, and school readiness.
Our staff is committed to creating high-quality learning experiences that foster confidence, creativity, problem-solving, communication, and a sense of belonging for every child. We celebrate each child ' s unique strengths and are honored to be part of their early learning journey.
This handbook provides an overview of our programs, policies, procedures, and services. We encourage you to refer to it throughout the year and to contact us whenever questions arise. We look forward to partnering with you to make this a joyful and meaningful preschool experience for your child and family.
Meet SELC the Eaglet
Our school mascot is an eaglet named SELC.
SELC reminds us to be curious, courageous, kind, and ready to learn. You will see SELC throughout our school, in classrooms, at family events, and during special school-wide activities.
Every child at Stowe Early Learning Center is an Eaglet. Just like eaglets learning to spread their wings, our children grow through exploration, relationships, intentional play, and new experiences each day.
Our Commitment to Belonging
At Stowe Early Learning Center, every child and family deserves to feel welcomed, valued, respected, and included.
We celebrate the cultures, languages, abilities, family structures, and experiences that make our community unique. We believe children thrive when they see themselves reflected in their classroom, their learning experiences, and the relationships they build at school.
Our goal is to create an environment where every child feels safe, connected, and confident. We want children to develop curiosity, independence, and a love of learning.
