Early Childhood Center (ECC)
Our Early Childhood Center, located in North Tustin, is an ideal place for children to grow, learn and explore their world from six-months to six years.
From finger-painting and music to story-time and recess, children are surrounded by an environment designed to enhance their independence… to create a learning environment where it is difficult to tell the visually impaired and sighted children apart because both share the spirit of independence.
One of the unique aspects of the Blind Children’s Learning Center is reverse mainstreaming, where sighted children attend the school along with visually impaired students. It is an enriching experience for both. According to one teacher, "The sighted children are so sweet and considerate, they don’t see any difference – it is a natural bonding process."
Parents are delighted at the empathy and consideration that develops naturally between the children, creating lifelong friendships formed in a unique learning environment.
